The Raiders played in Oroville on Friday against the Hornets, losing a close one, 54-49.

“It was a close, hard-fought game throughout,” Head Coach Jeremy Crollard said. “We battled, but missed some shots at the end of the game.”

Tyler Jordan led the Raiders with 12 points, followed by Trevor McCraigie, who put in 11.

The Raiders are third in the Central Washington 2B league with an 8-3 league win-loss record, 9-4 overall.
