On Saturday, the Lady Raider basketball team took on the Eastbrook Panthers in the season opener. When asked her feelings going into Saturday's game, Senior Emilee Junk said, " I felt confident that we knew what had to be done since we had prepared to take on the Panthers the week before." The team knew the game would be a challenge and that they would have to play their absolute best to have a shot at winning. Eastbrook is the defending MIC conference champion for two years running. Sadly, the Raiders were defeated 61-38. Despite the loss, Senior Lela Knowles has a positive outlook toward the rest of the season. She said, "We now know what we need to do to improve. We need to learn how to play together as a team and to come together. We need to speak positively to one another and not tear each other down. We had a rough start, but we will come back stronger and better than before."
Come out on Tuesday, November 18th to see your Lady Raiders take on the Blackford Bruins. The game will take place at the Raiderdome, JV starting at 6:00 pm.
