Guess where the ball went . . . Tori Miller and McKenzie Ostdiek and a Giltner player all watch with amazement following just where the ball went. The victory over Giltner allowed Coach Peterson to play 11 players throughout the game.

This seemed to wake up the Lawrence-Nelson squad as they roared back offensively and defensively with a 16-2 second quarter surge to take a 20-13 lead into the half. The Raiders never looked back and emerged with a 39-28 win.

The Raiders established their dominance with a 16-6 first quarter and followed up with a 17-10 second quarter to lead 33-16 at the half. Lawrence-Nelson cruised their way to a 60-35 win to start the new year off in style.
