This season has presented its share of growing pains for rebuilding Ranney but the Panthers showed signs of their potential Monday in a win over rival Mater Dei.
A loss on Saturday would have buried CBA in a nearly-insurmountable hole. So the Colts didn't think about it. They just got back to winning by fighting off Mater Dei Prep.
Ranney's legendary Class of 2019 has moved on but the Panthers remain hungry for championships. Can Mater Dei and the rest of the B Central field close the gap?
Malik Ingram gutted out 125 yards on the ground and the defense took care of the rest as Mater Dei stymied Red Bank Catholic to make it back to the Non-Public Group 3 championship game.
