Tuesday evening was a total team effort as both Raider squads stepped up when it mattered most against Illini Central.
Our 7th grade battled through a tough three-set match, opening strong 25-13, staying composed after a close second set, and finishing with confidence 25-20. At the service line the Raiders were aggressive and consistent, putting up 20 aces on 70 serves.
The 8th grade controlled the match from start to finish, earning a straight-set win 25-10, 25-17. Their serving pressure set the tone all night with 15 aces on 49 attempts and only 4 errors.
When every team needed a win, the Raiders delivered. One more regular-season match at Farmington tomorrow before we begin postseason play — and we’re excited to keep this momentum rolling. 💜🏐

Mark Your Calendars! 📅
We’ve had parents and staff members asking as they begin planning summer activities and vacations, so we wanted to share that our current last day of school is scheduled for May 28, 2026.
As always, this date is based on our approved school calendar and could change if additional emergency/snow days are needed — but as of now, May 28th is our official last day.
We hope this helps as you start making those summer plans!
Congratulations to 8th graders Alex Price and Cali Lippert! Both students entered their short story into a contest with Young Writers and will have their work published in the Fright Club 2025 issue. We are so proud of you and your work! Way to go Raiders!!
