Ragsdale opened the 2011 – 2012 season with a home win against SE Guilford
by a 59 – 57 score. The Tigers trailed by four points early in the second
quarter at 21 – 17, but went on a 17 – 7 run to close out the quarter to
take a 34 – 28 lead into the halftime break. They never trailed again
although their biggest lead in the second half was only 7 points. With just
over 2 minutes left in the game, Ragsdale was up 56 – 49, but the Falcons
got 5 points from Matt Wright and a long range three from S. Phifer while
Ragsdale was going 3 of 5 from the line. A Wright basket with 13.9 seconds

Rouse who chipped in with 12. The Falcons were led by Matt Wright with 21
points and Phifer with 16. SE Guilford defeated East Forsyth Monday night
