Third and fourth lunches watched as three bachelors were questioned by one bright bachelorette during "The Dattng ("ame". The snow that was falling outside could have been melted by some bachelor's answers, while others could have been hurled into a tornado if our bachelorette had anything 10 say about il. Erica Ercolani, BR's own sunshine bachelorette encountered stormy skies while questioning Liam Tennant. The second bachelor bit some ice and slipped away. The third bachelor, Conan O'Brian, won Erica's heart by answering al of ber inquiries brilliantly. The newly matched couple met face to face where the temperature in the room exceeded the boil- ing point. Hopefully everyone's Valentine's Day was met with clear skies. The Junior Boy's Basketball teain set out ibis season with the goal to achieve success. Like a hurricane fuil of rain, sleet, and snow, they pounded the gymn floor momning after moming, evening after evening. Their bard work led to bosting a play- off gaine. This was the first time in a wbile that BR boops host- ed a playoff match. Facing an undefeated Loyola teans, there were moments of sunshine and hope that the tearn would weather turbulent climate. StilI, with little time remaining, the teamn was bit by the "perfect storm" of Loyola and the season carne 10 a tragic end 56-45. "Meir goal however was reached. Tbey experienced the patcby hot and cold spots that accompa- ny effort, perseverance, determination and heart. T'hose are the most important and commonly overlooked cbaracterisîics that embody success. Devastaîing storrns like this Royals teain will flot be easily forgotten.
