BELZONI – Despite outscoring the Flames in the fourth quarter 11-6, the Raiders couldn’t overcome a twenty-point deficit and their season was abruptly ended Wednesday, losing 68-40 to Clinton Christian Academy in the first round of the MAIS District 4A tournament.

“We played with them for a awhile and got in foul trouble early,” head coach Richard Perry said Thursday. “That kind of threw my game plan off for the rest of the night.”
