Raider Basketball Maintains Lead

by Marlo Villanueva



It was another great week for the Men's Varsity Basketball team as they took on the Mar Vista Mariners on Wednesday and the Castle Park Trojans on Friday night. They dominated the Mariners 67-55 with Ashper Morris being the leading scorer of 25 points ! The Raiders made this game look too easy as they were ahead the whole game. We also have scores from Antwon Mandapat with 4,Lamar Weston 9, Emilio Arellano 10, Jay Santos 17, Alex Villegas 2. It was an overall great win for the Raiders to beat their rival.

Friday night was another story, the Raiders played against the Castle Park Trojans whom they had defeated previously. The Raiders were aiming for another easy win but that didn't happen. The Trojans came out fighting in the first half leading the score of 17-26 by the end of the first half. In the second half, the Southwest Raiders came out hard and finished the third quarter with a tied score of 37-37. The Raiders crunched down on the Trojans as they beat them during the last minutes of the game, 59-51.

What a great way to keep the season going ! The Raiders take their season game by game with confidence in themselves and the whole team. Keep following the Raiders as they keep moving forward to their goal of winning the South Bay league Banner.
