Nothing comes easy for the Lawrence-Nelson High School girls basketball team. Despite playing in Class D-2, they only compete against six D-2 schools. The remaining 12 games are against D-1 and higher.

The Raiders played D-1 Blue Hill, with a winning record, as close as you can, last Tuesday, before being edged out 44-42 at Nelson. They fell to 11-5 D-1 Silver Lake 37-27, Friday, at Nelson.
