The 7th grade Lady Raiders faced off with Mt. Pulaski in the title game of the Logan County Tournament on Tuesday evening. The Raiders jumped out to a 2-0 lead to start the game, only to give the Honeybears the next 5 points early in the 1st quarter. Our ladies clawed their way back to take a 10-9 lead after the opening quarter. Peyton spread the lead to four with a 3-pointer from the left wing then Kallie added another four points in the quarter to give the Raiders their largest lead of the night at 5 points going into halftime. Mt. Pulaski came out after halftime with the hot hand to tie the game up at 17, then Peyton drained another 3 from the right wing to take it back. Both teams headed into the final quarter tied at 22. Mt. Pulaski took the lead late in the 4th quarter for the first time since mid-way through the 1st. The Raiders had trouble getting their shots to drop, while a Pulaski guard banked one from the left baseline to seal the victory, 30-27. It was a valiant effort by our girls on a night where things didn't go well, but they still had an opportunity to win the game. Peyton led the Raiders with 10 points, while Kallie added 7, Lydia had 4, Sophia had 3, Kynlie had 2 and Nora pitched in a free throw. These girls have the rest of the week off and will take their 12-2 record to Rankin next Tuesday, November 4th.

The 8th grade game was exciting to start with both teams knocking down some big shots to start the game. Charlie knocked down an early field goal to give the Raiders their only lead of the evening. Lewistown banked in two 3's in the first quarter, to only be answered by Peyton who swished one from the left wing, then banked one of her own from the top of the key. The Raiders were down 9-8 after the opening frame. Kallie, Nora J and Peyton each had a field goal in the 2nd quarter but the lead extended to 7 points at half for Lewistown. Lewistown continued to pull away in the 2nd half to down the Raiders. Nora J and Charlie led the Raiders with 5 rebounds, while Kenzie & Nora J each moved the ball well to collect 3 assists. Kenzie had the sticky hands on the defensive side the ball to snag 4 steals while Peyton led the Raiders in scoring with 8. The 8th grade has the weekend off and will have an away game at Pekin Edison on Monday evening!
