Last season the basketball world had to be informed of Morgan Kluchar’s presence. As a freshman, she had to prove that she belonged on the court with the upperclassmen. She did just that. Now as a sophomore, it’s a different feeling for Morgan. She has earned her spot and her respect, and now it’s all […]
It’s back to work for the Lady Raiders this week after a much needed week off. The Raiders got back to business in Girard escaping an upset bid from the Indians. A game that Coach Fishel thinks they may not have won two weeks ago when they were fatigued. Looking ahead the Raiders finish off […]
Rebounding and free throws, redundant in practice but key to winning games. And those were the two areas of struggle for the Lady Cardinals tonight in their loss to the Warren Harding Raiders. A strong first quarter, with Mooney’s trademark defense, held the high octane Raider offense to only 9 points. But the bigs for […]
The South Range Lady Raiders split their Holiday Hoops tournament last weekend dropping a game to West Branch, and beating Salem the next day. Now the Raiders have 9 days to get back in the gym and get better. For Coach Fishel this chance to work with the team in practice was much needed. It’s […]
Although the South Range Raiders have plenty of returning faces to the team this season, there are some new players you may not recognize. Sophomore Mallory Vidman is one of those new faces.

Lizzy Herdman is one of the new faces to a Lady Bulldog team that returns four out of five starters from the 2018 season. Lizzy’s position was not handed to her. She has worked her way up in the program over the last two seasons. Putting her time in on the JV level and constantly […]
Every basketball team has a player or two they trust to handle the ball on every single possession. For the Lady Raiders that player has been Lexi Giles for the last two years. A strong point guard that has come in and brought organization to an already highley athletic offense. With a year under her […]
You’ll be hard pressed to find a more versatile player on the Cardinals than Sonny Rodriquez. Spot up from 3, defend the opponent’s best guard, or run the point, Mooney’s sixth man leads by example and lets his play do the talking. Sonny, however, did do some talking prior to Mooney’s showdown against rival Boardman […]
Jeff Fishel is well on his way in his first season coaching the Lady Raiders. The team is 7-3 and coming off a week where they beat Niles and played Canfield close on the road. The Raiders now get to look ahead as they host the Holiday Hoops Classic this weekend with games vs West […]
