We have several boys who have put a lot of time into the off-season preparing for this basketball season. We can put several boys on the floor that can shoot and defensively we have some length we can put on the floor as well. We lost our point guard from last year so that is going to be an important role for someone to step up and take hold of. We still have a lot of work to do but if we can become consistent on both ends of the floor, I think we can compete with anybody in AA. Our schedule is as tough as it has ever been so we are going to have to have everyone’s best each night out in order for us to compete and win games.</em>"      </p> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Raiders Schedule</strong></span></h3> <p>December 10 (home) vs <strong>Pierre T.F.
