The Raiders basketball teams split a pair of games with the Havana Ducks, with the 7th graders cruising to a 35-16 victory and the 8th graders losing a heartbreaker 21-20.
The 7th graders moved to 4-1 on the season with a monster game from Max Dierker! Dierker finished the game with 12 points, with 11 of them coming in the first half as the Raiders burst out to a 22-2 lead at half! Owen Kolves also had a big game for the Raiders, pumping in 9 points and Jake Hunter added 5 points to the winning effort!
The 8th graders were handed their first defeat of the season with a heartbreaking 21-20 loss. Their stellar defense kept the Ducks scoreless in the second quarter, but ultimately it was the Ducks 9 made free throws that were the difference in the game. Ryan Terrill finished with 9 points and Malachi Carroll had 7 in the affair.
Both teams stand at 4-1 on the year as they look to keep it going with a tough matchup at Brimfield on Thursday.
The Lady Raiders fought off foul trouble early to defeat South Fulton 29-25. With great defense and balanced scoring the girls fought to the end. Leading the way were Eliza with 9 and Cally with big shots off the bench added 8. Kayleigh hit 2 bunny shots, while Addi and Amelia contributed 3 each. Emma added 2 for the win.

In the great team effort scorers were Eliza with 11, McKinzey shot well with 4, Addi added 3, helping to add to the win were Amelia, Emma, and Kayleigh.
