The 8th grade Lady Raiders fell to Washington Middle School by a score of 41-25 on Saturday afternoon in their first round regional match-up.
The Raiders got off to a solid start taking a 6-5 lead after one quarter, but the Panthers quickly took the lead back in the 2nd quarter. Peyton knocked down three huge 3-point shots in the 2nd half to close the gap to only 6 points. Charlie had a great defensive effort trying to slow down Washington's guard, while Kenzie was a leader on both sides of the court as she's been all season.
Peyton finished with 12 points, Kenzie added 8, Charlie with 3 and Julia pitched in 2. The Lady Raiders finished their season with an 11-10 record, and a combined 26-14 record including their 7th grade year. Best of luck in high school ladies!!

Kallie & Zoey each added 2. Peyton led with 10 rebounds and 3 assists in the evening. These girls finish their regular season with a 17-3 record and they're heading to regionals on Monday with the #1 seed at Washington Central!
