What a game!

Incredible! I don't know what other word to use to describe the Argonia Lady Raiders' 86-46 win over the Norwich Lady Eagles tonight. Absolutely incredible. From the first whistle to the final buzzer, the Lady Raiders dominated every measurable stat - rebounds, assists, points, fouls! (Had to throw that last one in. They do love to bang the other team up a bit.)

At the end of the first quarter they were ahead by more than a dozen points. (It's the only quarter I don't have a "for sure" score for.) At halftime, their lead was 31 points.

What happened in the next two quarters was nothing short of a basketball clinic. The JV players started coming in about half way through the third quarter and the point total still climbed. But the coup de grĂ¢ce was the 25 points (I think I got that right) the JV players put up in the 4th. 25 points from JV players in a single quarter. Unthinkable! The crowd was wild with joy as players who had scored little all year buried threes from four feet beyond the arc and banked in twos inside.

You should've been there. Can't wait to see what lies beyond Regionals!
