Raiders Upset Cougars in B-Ball
by Marlo Villanueva
Southwest claims their title as South Bay League Champs after defeating the San Ysidro Cougars on Wednesday night. It was one hectic game for both teams having a record of 9-1 in the league.
Southwest started off hot against the Cougars leading 21-6 in the first half. The Raiders took their lead and kept the lead throughout the entire game. There were spectacular plays all game from both sides of the court. The game ended on the score of 69-61.
The Raiders' Varsity team worked hard for this all season and proved they deserve the title. There were 4 players that ended the game with double digit points. Emilio Arellano with 15, Jay Santos 14, Lamar Weston 13, and Ashper Morris with 13. This teamwork from the Raiders paid off and got them the banner for the second time consecutively.
The Southwest crowd took on an early celebration as they tackled the court and the basketball players when there were 3.5 seconds left on the game. That didnt phase the Southwest Raiders as they knew they had the game in the bag.
Congratulations to the Raiders for the repeat of their banner league win. Make sure to follow them up on their way to the playoffs as they compete against the best of the best for the CIF title. This also brings one question to mind, since the Raiders won the banner this year and last, will they finish a threepeat ?
