The Lady Raider Varsity Basketball Team is hoping for a successful season this year. After losing dominant players in the past three years including Dora Garza, Lyndsey Cloman and Jennifer Dye, we are working towards rebuilding the team.
  
This year the team is very young with only three seniors. The seniority is followed by four juniors and three sophomores. The main focus this season is team work. Our team is filled with many "good" players, not just one or two "great" players. With that in mind, everyone contributes to the outcome every game.

"A team is only as good as it's weakest link," says head coach Lynette Joiner, who asks for nothing more then for each player to give 100% every second they are on the court.
  
With district already beginning we are currently 2-1. We lost our district opener to the Clark Cougars. It was a tough game, but simple mistakes lost it for us. We came out victorious in our second game against the Holmes Huskies. We had control the entire game. The Huskies made a run in the fourth, but we were able to hold on to the lead and get the "W".  And last night, we defeated the O'Connor Panthers 47-44. With district just beginning, anything less then a playoff run will be a disappointment. Go Lady Raiders!
