The route continued in the 2nd half as our girls outscored the Panthers 20-3 to secure a 48-15 victory Monday evening!

The 7th grade Lady Raiders extended their winning streak to 5 games with a 34-14 victory in Lewistown Thursday evening! Peyton led the Raiders scoring with 15 points, all in the first half to help take a dominating 19-2 lead into halftime. Nora led the charge in the 2nd half with 5 of her 7 points, plus four rebounds & four steals! Jaina was also a thief on the defensive side with four steals of her own. Kynlie & Kallie shared the rebounding honors, each with five. Additional scorers for the Lady Raiders included Zoey with four points, Lydia, Jaina, Kate & Sophia each added two. These ladies take their 10-1 record to the Logan County tournament this weekend where they have earned the #1 seed. They play at West Lincoln Broadwell at 12:30 Saturday!
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!

Mrs. Bush's Mathematicians took time to place rational numbers on a clothesline placing them in numerical order. They were able to discuss why they placed their rational numbers in the location they chose. They were also able to correct their classmate's location of their rational numbers.
Goooo Raiders!

Mrs. Keaschall's math class had a lot of fun acting out the "Locker Problem" today. They were searching for patterns to help them figure out what would happen if 1,000 lockers were opened and closed based on multiples. Check out these strategies. They are using math tools and perseverance to solve a difficult task. Great job Raiders!
Mrs. Madero's Social Studies class was making Papyrus paper. Next us is writing our names in Hieroglyphics for our Ancient Egypt unit!!
Tuesday night in Green Valley was a tale of two completely different stories. The 7th grade Lady Raiders took on West Lincoln Broadwell's squad and made easy work of the Wolverines by defeating them 33-9 to improve to 9-1 on the season. Peyton led the Raiders with 11 points while Zoey and Kallie used their size advantage and collected 12 and 10 rebounds respectively. The Raiders out-rebounded the Wolverines by a staggering 59-23. The Raiders jumped out to a 10-2 lead in the first half, to only go on a 17-point run to put the game away. A total of eight Lady Raiders contributed in the scoring column with Zoey adding 7, Sage & Nora with 4, Jaina, Sophia & Lydia with 2, and Kallie added 1.
The 8th grade Lady Raiders faced off with an extremely talented West Lincoln Broadwell team who has only lost 1 game the last two seasons. The Raiders battled from the start but couldn't get their shots to fall early in the game. Charlie swished a 3-pointer from the left wing to get the scoring started for the Raiders then Sophia came off the bench and drained a three of her own within seconds of coming into the game. Kenzie led the Raiders with 7 rebounds and 3 blocks... adding 2 points of her own.
The Lady Raiders travel to Lewistown Thursday evening at 6:00 PM to take on the Indians on their home turf. Good luck ladies!
The 7th grade Lady Raiders had another exciting game in Glasford as they kept the Tigers in their cage during a 40-36 victory on Monday evening! Peyton recorded her first double-double knocking down 14 points and grabbing 10 rebounds on the night. Illini Bluffs had two guards that needed to be covered at all times and it was a team effort on the court to slow them down. Tenley was glued to their point guard's hip all night and if she drove to the basket, the Raider "bigs" were there waiting for her! IB held a slim 10-8 lead after the 1st quarter but the sixth-grade sensations by the names of Kallie & Kynlie combined for all of the Raiders 11 second quarter points to take the lead and never give it back. Zoey was big in the paint adding 10 points while Tenley knocked down a clutch baseline jumper late in the game for her two points. Peyton did a great job finding her open teammates collecting 8 assists while Nora was one of the bigs waiting for the IB point guards in the paint as she led the Raiders with 3 blocks on the night.
The 8th grade Lady Raiders found themselves in foul trouble early which made it tough to get any type of run going. After giving IB a 10-point head start, it was back and forth all through the first half but Charlie found Nora J under the basket as time was expiring to cut the deficit to 7 points at half. The Raiders trimmed the lead to six early in the 3rd quarter but IB scored the next 13 points to eventually down the Raiders 33-21 Monday evening. Peyton led the Raiders with 8 points while Charlie's aggressiveness led her to a team high 8 rebounds on the night. Also contributing for the Raiders were Kenzie with 5 points, Charlie with 4, Nora J with 2 and Lydia with 2!
The schedule doesn't get any easier as the Raiders host West Lincoln Broadwell this evening in Green Valley at 5:30 PM!
Let's Go Raiders!!!
Goooooo Lady Raiders!
It's time to start thinking about Snow Buddies...
