In the 7th grade game, the Cavaliers came out hot on offense and kept the Raiders on their heels as the Raiders were down 13-5 after the first. It was more evenly matched in the 2nd, but Bon Homme was able to push their lead to 24-14 at the half. The Raiders played better defensively in the 2nd half as they cut their deficit down to 8 at the end of 3. The offense finally came to life as Brock Cournoyer and Steven Peters hit 3’s to bring the Raiders all the way back to tie it up late in the 4th quarter. Bon Homme managed to make a layup to regain the lead. The Raiders came back and got a good look under the basket that rimmed out, but we were fouled on the shot. We made 1 of 2 free throws to pull within 1 but were never able to get possession of the ball back before time expired. The final score saw the Raiders go down 32-31. The loss drops their season record to 8-4. Leading scorers were Cruise Koupal with 10, Payne Petry and Steven Peters with 7 each, Brock Cournoyer with 5, and Kayo Fischer with 2.
