The Raiders split a tough matchup against Edison tonight, dropping the first game 30-29. Joe Proehl had 13 points and Zayne Arthalony added 12, but a 2 point third quarter was the difference in the game. With the loss the 7th graders move to 15-6 on the season.
But tonight was about 8th grade night. The Raiders made some huge plays down the stretch to make their 8th grade night a memorable one, downing the Edison Panthers 35-32 in overtime! Ryan Terrill had 13 big points, while Malachi Carroll and Josh Dawe both contributed 8 as the Raiders got some huge free throws from Dawe and Brendan Carton down the stretch to pick up their 14th win of the season!
The Raiders look to wrap up their regular season with a matchup against Illini Bluffs on Thursday!

7th Grade started off wanting to collect their first win of the season. They were able to make that happen 25-19 and 25-15. McKenzie Gale and Katie Parkin led the Lady Raiders with 7 points each. Alyssa Guawitz had 3 aces to help. Emma Markle stepped in as libero and had an amazing back row hit.
8th Grade came out playing their game from the start. They defeated Parkview 25-16 and 25-17. Addison Friedrich led the points with 10. Amelia Meeker had 4 aces and 8 hits. Emma Junkin and Rhiannon Sigmon both had 5 hits.
