In the last game of the weekend and the boys’ senior night, the team honored their seven seniors. All of the seniors acknowledged during the weekend have dedicated a lot of time to Raider basketball and will surely be missed. The starting lineup consisted of five seniors and all of the seniors on the team received playing time. The game was close from the beginning, with the Raiders trailing by four at halftime. The final seconds of the game involved a clutch three pointer made by senior NJ Seman to put the Raiders ahead by one. With a short time on the clock, a stop on the defensive end solidified the Raiders’ win. The final score was 56-55.
