RAIDERS TAKE THE NEXT STEP

/in /by

CUYAHOGA FALLS OH- The South Range Girls Basketball program made their fourth trip to the Cuyahoga Falls regional in seven seasons. The program was never able to win a game in the Tigers gym. The key to building a great program though is to keep going back to the atmosphere and eventually taking that next step. Wednesday night the Raiders took that step. They dominated the second half in route to a 47-25 win over Champion,

The Raiders could not have asked for a better start. They forced three straight turnovers that led to 6 points. This spurt really set the tone for the whole night. Champion was no slouch on defense either though. They forced the Raiders into a ton of turnovers. The Raiders led 13-9 after a turnover riddled frame from both teams. The story stayed the same throughout the second quarter. Both teams played solid defense and forced the other into uncharacteristic mistakes. The Raiders were only able to score eight points in the second quarter, but it was enough to maintain a five point lead at the break 21-16.

The third quarter is when the separation began for the Raiders. They kept holding the Flashes, and their offense made adjustments to get more points up. The Raiders outscored Champion 17-7 in the third to go up 38-23. Then in the fourth, the Raider defense was smothering, allowing just two points the whole frame. Defense definitely wrote the story for the Raiders impressive win. They only allowed nine total second half points. They also stayed away from foul trouble. They didn’t put Champion in the bonus in either half.

This is the first South Range basketball team boys or girls to go to the regional championship.

Izzy Lamparty led the Raiders with 20 points. Lexi Giles has a strong night as well finishing with 13.

South Range advances to play Elyria Catholic in the Regional Championship on Saturday at 1:00 at Cuyahoga Falls High School.

/in /by

STRUTHERS OH- South Range came in to Saturday’s district championship with two dominant tournament wins under their belt. The same theme rang true for the Raiders as they controlled Crestview 48-32 for their fourth district championship in the last 7 seasons.

The first quarter was competitive as the Rebels worked hard on defense to keep the Raiders in check. Stopping Izzy Lamparty was a must for them, and in the first quarter she only hit a single bucket from the floor. Addison Bandy knocked down a three and scored 5 points in the first frame as the Rebels only trailed 13-9.

It was only a matter of time though before the Raiders offense found open looks against the Rebel zone. In the second quarter the dam broke and Lexi Giles was a big reason. Giles knocked down three triples in the second quarter and Gabby Lamparty knocked down another two. The Raiders exploded out to a 34-14 halftime lead.

Down twenty at the break was a tough task for the Rebels. They fought hard all throughout the second half to at least stop the bleeding. Krista Perry finally got going in the fourth scoring 5 of her 6 total points. The Raiders were just too much to come back from as they rolled in this one 48-32.

Lexi Giles led the Raiders with 16 points while Gabby Lamparty had a strong day with 12. Izzy Lamparty found herself still in double figures with 10.

RAIDERS LOOKING FRESH; ADVANCE PAST PALESTINE

/in /by

CANFIELD OH- East Palestine came in to Saturday’s sectional final against South Range high off their win over Waterloo on Wednesday night. The Raiders made a fast start an emphasis all week. To describe their start to this game as fast would be an understatement. They used an explosive first quarter to roll past the Bulldogs 55-34.

The Raiders started the game on a 23-0 run using their press defense to stifle East Palestine’s offense. The end of the quarter showed a 25-1 Raider advantage. Izzy Lamparty proved to be a huge matchup issue for Palestine, especially in the first quarter. Trying to break a press with her in the middle proved near impossible.

The Bulldogs seemed to calm down after being punched with that first quarter outburst. They scored 11 in the second, thanks to a couple good plays by Morgan Rutledge on defense leading to quick buckets, and a good drive and scoop from Payton Sherry. Paige Snyder also had a strong frame. The Raiders added 18 more points to close the half with a 43-12 lead.

The Bulldogs never quit fighting as the game went on and showed great resiliency facing a big deficit. They held the Raiders to just twelve second half points.

FRYER GETS 1,000 RAIDERS GET THE WIN

/in /by

It was a night where two players had eyes on reaching the thousand point milestone. Nae Fryer needed just 10 points coming into the night, Izzy Lamparty was right behind her needing 18. Fryer got her 1,000th point less than 15 seconds out of halftime. That was the only positive in the second half for the Dragons as the Raiders ran away to a 55-29 win.

Niles played a very competitive first half. Their offense was balanced as Fryer scored eight, and the rest of the team matched it with eight more. The Dragons defense also locked down on the Raiders, holding them to just 17 points in the first two frames. The Dragons trailed 17-16 at the break.

Out of the break the Dragons immediately ran a play to get Nae Fryer some space. She wasted no time hitting a midrange jumper to eclipse 1000 points. The Dragon Den erupted and the game was stopped to celebrate the career milestone. After things calmed back down the Raiders took control of the game. They shutout Fryers teammates in the second half. Her thirteen second half points were all the Dragons got. Izzy Lamparty made a mad dash at her own milestone in the second half. Held to five points at half, Lamparty caught fire in the late stages of the third. Half way through the final frame, Izzy hit a bucket giving her 17 points, just one point away. With the game well in hand however, Coach Fishel decided to take Izzy out. A decision that could have also had to do with the Raiders next game being a home game.

Leading the Raiders offensively was Izzy Lamparty with 17 points and 7 rebounds. Lexi Giles was also in double figures with 13.

Nae Fryer finished with a game high 21.

POLAND TOP DOG IN CLASH WITH SOUTH RANGE

/in /by

Control of the league hung in the balance Monday night when Poland traveled to South Range. Poland proved to still be the class of the league with an impressive 51-35 win over the Raiders.

The magnitude of the game was felt from the tip as the jump ball to start the game flew out of bounds before anyone could get to it, on the second try there was an immediate scrum on the floor for it. The Raiders got on the board in their first possession with a pair of free throws. 2-0 would prove to be the only lead the Raiders would have. Brooke Bobbey nailed a three on the other end to make it 3-2 and Poland would lead throughout the rest of the game.

That’s not to say the Raiders didn’t keep it competitive. They trailed by just one towards the end of the first gram before Grisdale hit a three in the closing seconds. She would do the same in the closing seconds of the first half to make a four point lead seven. 22-15 Poland led at the break. Izzy Lamparty had to spend much of the second quarter on the bench with three fouls.

The Raiders came out of the break with energy and got the lead cut to three, 28-25 but Jackie Grisdale seemed to hit a shot in every big situation for the Bulldogs. She made it 30-25 and the Bulldogs would score five more before the end of the third to make it 35-25.

Poland jumped way ahead in the final frame opening it on a 6-0 run and stretching their lead to 41-25. The Raiders with one more gasp of hope put together an 8-0 run cutting the lead to 41-33 with just over two minutes left in the game. Out of a timeout Brooke Bobbey hit maybe the biggest shot of the game as her fourth three of the game put Poland up 44-33 and pretty much ended any comeback bid the Raiders had.

Jackie Grisdale led the Bulldogs with 19 points 6 rebounds. Brooke Bobbey added 13. She hit four threes on the night.

Lexi Giles had a strong night for South Range with 13 points. Izzy Lamparty finished in double figures with 12.

RAIDERS RESPOND, SILENCE SALEM

/in /by

Salem and South Range has to wait a while on Saturday to try to bounce back from losses on Friday night. The game before theirs between Hoban and West Branch went in to overtime. For South Range it was well worth the wait as they responded to their loss with a dominant 51-38 win over Salem.

It was a fast start for the Raiders on offense, as Lexi Giles has a strong eight point first quarter to shoot her team out of a cannon. The Raider defense was also causing serious problems for the Quaker ball handlers as they forced a lot of live ball turnovers. In the first half even though the flow of the game suggested that the Raiders were dominating, the Quakers did a good job in staying within striking distance. They found a way to go into the locker room down 26-20.

Even in the third frame the Quakers stuck around. They seemed to have an answer for every little run the Raiders put together. Little jabs that would keep Salem in range of a comeback. That all changed in the fourth quarter as the Raider defense completely locked down. Salem went six minutes without a point as they saw the Raiders fly ahead of them. By the time the Quakers got their first points of the quarter the Raiders were too far away to catch.

Izzy Lamparty had another double double to lead the Raiders with 18 points 15 rebounds. Lexi Giles also had a strong night with 16. Mallory Vidman had a strong night on the boards with 8 rebounds.

Casey Johnson led the Quakers with 13 points.

The Raiders return to action January 6th as they travel to Girard.
