Patriots, like Rocky, win fight

LEROY - The second round of the Class 4A three-game playoff series was like a good old fashion “Rocky” movie. ‘Rocky’ Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) kept getting hit and falling to the canvas, but then he would get up and keep fighting.
The North Vermilion Patriots were Rocky and the Carencro Bears were Rocky’s opponents.
Like in the first Rocky movie, Apollo Creed beats Rocky at the very end of the movie. The Bears beat NVHS 5-1 in Game 1, setting up Game 2 (Rocky II) and a Game 3 (Rocky III).
