The 7th grade boys capped the pre-Christmas part of their season with a BANG, defeating the Illini Central Cougars 35 - 26 to improve to 16 - 1 on the season! With the score close in the second quarter, Midwest Central got back to back 3 pointers and a layup with 3 seconds to go in the first half from Jase Canada to give the Raiders a 21-12 lead going into the locker room that they would never relinquish. Canada finished with 8 points and 2 rebounds on the evening. Joe Proehl also had a huge game for the Raiders, stuffing the stat sheet with 19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 assists!
The 8th grade Raiders, battling some injury and illnesses, got down early and couldn't recover, falling to the Cougars 29 - 15 to end their pre-Christmas record at 11 - 6.
The Raiders look to take some well deserved time off during the Christmas season with their next regular season game scheduled for January 9 at PORTA beginning at 6:00 PM!

Another night and another win for the Raiders basketball teams last night in Mackinaw as they swept a pair of road games from Dee-Mack on Thursday night!
The 7th grade Raiders played their most complete game of the year, topping the Warriors 41 - 11. The Raiders defense, which has become a trademark of the team, was suffocating all night, never allowing more than 4 points in any one quarter of play.

The 8th grade game brought another win, but this one with quite a bit more dramatics. The Raiders had an early grasp on the game, leading 20 - 8 at halftime. But Dee - Mack put together a big charge in the second half to take the lead late. However, with 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game the Raiders got a great pass from Zayne Arthalony to Blake Molitor for the bucket and the foul, and the Raiders used that momentum to propel themselves to a big 40 - 36 victory for their 11th win on the year! Molitor had a huge game for Midwest Central, finishing with a game high 17 points and 7 rebounds. Zayne Arthalony added 10 points and 4 assists, with none bigger than the one to Molitor to retake the lead late and Max Dierker also had a nice game for the Raiders, adding 7 points and 6 boards as well as 1 steal!
The Raiders look to get some well deserved rest over the weekend as they prepare for a big battle at Athens next Monday beginning at 6 pm. Come out and see the boys play!
