RAIDERS OVERTIME WIN CREATES THREE WAY TIE FOR A NE8 TITLE

/in /by

JEFFERSON OH- There aren’t too many times when you’ll see a three way tie for a conference championship.  However, with how crazy the NE8 was this season, no one is shocked that there was a serious chance of that happening.  South Range met Jefferson on Tuesday in the final NE8 conference game of the season.  The Falcons were seeking an outright league championship, and the Raiders were trying to cause a three way tie at the top.  Just like you’d expect out of a top tier matchup, this game went back and forth all night. After Jefferson jumped out to a 24-14 lead after one quarter, the Raiders evened the score by winning the next three frames.  Tied at 40 at the end of regulation the two teams needed one extra stanza to decide a winner.  It came close to needing another too. Enter Luke Rohan.  The Raiders biggest perimeter threat showed up in the biggest moment with a game winning three that gave South Range a 48-45 win.

Landon Moore earned the team lead with his big 21 point performance.  Rohan’s three gave him 10 points on the night to break in to double figures.  Ayden Leon was able to add 9 points to the Raiders cause.

Joe DeGeorge led the way for Jefferson as he was able to knock down 17 points.  Anthony Covetta was also in double figures for the Falcons as he grabbed 12 points.  Luis Padilla also scored 12 as well for Jefferson.

 

RAIDERS FIND THEMSELVES IN ANOTHER DRAMATIC FINISH

/in /by

CANFIELD OH- At this point, it seems like all South Range does is play in games that require dramatic finishes.  After coming off a win on the road against Girard with a buzzer beater by Ayden Leon, the Raiders now eyed Jefferson.  Because of that Raider victory over Girard Jefferson is now tied for first place in the NE8.  South Range came in just one game back from both teams.  The closeness of the teams in the standings formulated the kind of game you would expect. A close back and forth tug of war. The only question was who would have the final pull?

Jefferson led early, South Range led for a big chunk of the middle portion, and then Jefferson took a lead late. It was at that moment the Raiders made that final pull.  With the game tied with just under a minute to go, it was free throws making the difference. Dylan Turvey knocked down a pair on an intentional foul call, and then Leon knocked down two in the next possession.  With it now 63-59 the Falcons would score quick from three to cut it back to 1, and send Landon Moore to the free throw line with about 5 seconds left.  Moore would miss the shot, but his teammate Leon was there to clean it up, his offensive rebounded wasted the rest of the clock and gave the Raiders another thrilling win 63-62.

For the Raiders it was Moore that led the way. He put in 23 points on the night.  Leon was also clutch, especially down the stretch and finished with 15 points.  Luke Rohan was the Raiders biggest perimeter threat and finished with 14.

Anthony Cavetta and Joe DeGeorge both led the way for Jefferson with 22 points each.  Grant Hitchcock rounded out the rest of the Falcons scoring with 18.

South Range has a tough non league matchup on Saturday as they travel to Chaney.  Jefferson can bring themselves back to first place on Tuesday as they host Girard.
