The Iron City Roarers were on a roll, basking in the electric hum of their home court at the Iron Vault. This week, they faced a pair of back-to-back games: Friday against the Solvayn Spectres, Saturday against the Demerra Hounds. Neither team posed much threat, and with the home crowd's roar behind them—fans waving scarves and glow sticks like battle flags—the Roarers cruised to two easy wins, stretching their streak to five. The arena pulsed like Iron City's neon-lit streets, each dunk and assist a spark in the city's steel heart.
Ryan was on fire.
He dropped 31 points, 7 assists, and 7 boards on the Spectres, then turned around the next night and absolutely torched the Hounds for 39 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds—another triple-double to add to his growing résumé.
