The Raiders shrugged off a slow start as they trailed 13-9 at the end of the first period. Mason Lee got it started with a couple of threes and then Dylan Whitney got in the act to add eight points at the half. Warren East led at the break 24-20.
The second half was owned by the pace and composure of Edmonson County. Michael Poteet and Dakota Woodcock hit shot after shot and then closed the game out with 4 straight free throws. Brandon Walker of Warren East made it interesting by hitting three trifectas in a row to bring it within a single point but that wasn’t enough as they fell 56-54 on the road at Edmonson County.
