V FOR VIDMAN

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. She knew coming into this season that there were some spots on varsity up for grab and she was determined to get one. No one worked harder than Vidman in the offseason. Workouts, and open gyms were nothing but wide open opportunity for Mallory. She says she takes great pride in that work ethic. She quickly earned that starting spot on varsity and has now become a consistent member of the varsity squad. With so much court time Mallory has had to grow in to a leader for her team. She describes herself as someone who is always available for her teammates no matter the need. She also loves the opportunities to go out into the community with her team and not just be a leader on the court, but a leader in the community. This valorous player has vowed to lead her team to victory via her hard work and dedication to success. The vector of triumph is very clear and always in sight. Mallory Vidman, or you can just call her V. 

Anthony Hartwig traveled out to South Range to sit with Mallory. They discuss her new role on the team, her biggest change over the last two years, and much more. Take a good listen to the latest Lady Raider Player Profile V For Vidman.

RAIDERS RESPOND, SILENCE SALEM

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.
