The Raider boys scored their fifth straight win Tuesday night, defeating the Mountain Lions at Liberty Bell 61-52.
"The game started out very slow and sluggish for us but once we got our tempo picked up things turned around for us," said Head Coach Ed Wolfe.
Brandon Pino picked it up early and finished with 22 points to lead in Raider scoring.
In the first quarter, Chase Marchand scored the 1,000th point in his high school basketball career, a rare feat and "huge milestone for him," Wolfe said.
The Lake Roosevelt team is lacking height but may have one of the best defensive 2B teams in the state, the coach feels.
"Our bench came in and played a huge role in tonight's game defensively and on the rebounds," he noted.
So far, the Raiders have beaten White Swan, 74-59; Almira-Coulee-Hartline, 64-23; Hoquiam 64-53; DeSales, 58-48; and Liberty Bell, 61-52 for their first league win and a 5-0 win-loss record overall.
Next up, they play Brewster in Coulee Dam Friday night at 7:30.
