The boys capped off a record-making season with an IESA 2A State Tournament matchup with Oglesby Washington. The boys played exceptionally hard, overcoming an early double-digit deficit. Jase Canada led all scorers with 24 points on 9-13 shooting and tied an IESA state record for made three pointers with 6. Ultimately, the Raiders fell in a hard-fought battle 45 - 37 to capture the fourth-place trophy!
Coach Thompson had this to say after the game: “This team was such a blessing to coach. We had two mottos this year, team over me and winners never quit! These young men held true to these words. I am beyond proud to be a small part. Raider Nation is Back!!!!!”
