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!!

The Raiders look to keep things going with big away matchup at Parkview on Monday!
The 7th grade Lady Raiders had a tough time getting shots to fall on Thursday evening at Chillicothe. The Raiders jumped out to a 4-0 lead but eventually fell to the Grey Ghosts for their 3rd loss of the season. Sophia led the Raiders with 5 points and Emma added a nice 4 off the bench. 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!
The 8th graders fell behind early and were never able to overcome the deficit. Nora J led the Raiders with a hard-earned 6 points, while Kenzie added 4, Ayla swished a 3 from the right wing, and Charlie added 2. Charlie & Nora were flying high to get the rebounds to each grab 7. Kenzie found the open teammates to collect a team high 3 assists.
This concludes their regular season with a record of 11-9 and they will start regionals next weekend!
Good luck ladies!
