GREENFORD – Brookfield’s scrappy play made things interesting but in the end South Range’s experience on the big stage handed the Raiders their second consecutive Div. III district girls basketball championship with a 41-30 victory on Saturday.
The end result was something the Raiders expect as the program has flourished.
“We have kind of set the standard now that this is the game we want to be in every year as a program,” Raiders coach Jeff Fishel said. “Everyone has talked about COVID and adversity, and we have dealt with COVID, shutdowns, and some serious injuries. We probably had more adversity than any team around here, and for us to get through that and be able to cut the nets down on our home court is something these girls will never forget. I’m super proud of them.”
