Jase Canada (12 points) and Jaxton Bolen (10 points) both added double digits to the scoring column!

Johnny McFarland, Midwest Central's IESA Sportsmanship pin recipient, also added a clutch bucket!
Coach Proehl had some things he wanted to say to our amazing home crowd as well: "Raider Nation helped get us this Sectional Championship. The support of our home crowd was worth at least 10 points and helped push us over the top against a very talented team. We will have a banner on the wall from this team forever...and it's up to us to determine what that banner says. We need Raider Nation this weekend more than ever!"
