It was a mixed bag for the Raiders at the Class 3A Western Conference in Anchorage.  The boys opened with a 50-38 win over Bethel on Wednesday, followed by a 59-34 loss against Barrow on Thursday.  The team rallied and managed to come back for a 45-37 win against the Kotzebue Huskies, only to lose the final game of the tournament by two points to the Nome Nanooks. 

That placed the boys fourth overall in the tournament.  They also won the sportsmanship award.  Players JJ Fernandez and Andrew Seman made the 10-person All-Tournament team.

Coach Jim Wilson says he’s proud of how the team played, especially against some of the state’s tougher teams. 

The Lady Raiders placed sixth overall in the tournament, with losses in all of their games.
