The Raiders (1-2) travel to West Jessamine to face the defending region champion Colts (0-1). The Raiders beat the Colts last season at home by four, but West Jessamine returned the favor in the region championship, knocking off the Raiders by four.

 

This season, most pundits chose the Raiders and Colts to be fighting for the crown once again. Who you got?

 

I think the Raiders know this is a chance to make a statement early in the season. Although Watts and Roark are not in basketball shape (still converting from football), I think they make a statement. The shots fall for the Maroon and Gold.

 

Raiders 66-54

I don't think the football season should be much of an excuse when it's been over a month ago (and on top of that W Jess also played football) since their season ended.

I say West takes control in the third quarter but McCreary makes a late run to get back in the game and West hits free throws down the stretch to win 56-52.

Raiders by 8.

Colts by 8.

I'm not saying the Raiders are dinged up, but they're not in basketball shape and probably won't be for a few more weeks.

 

Additionally, the Raiders two best players - Watts and Roark - played football. Did Polson?

 

I don't know. Either way, should be a dandy.

Polson didn't, but I think some key players for West Jessamine did. I thought I recognized some familiar faces when they played Boyle County in football.

I think the Raiders hit the free throws down the stretch and win by 6. 60-54

I am going with the Raiders on this one. 53-48

I agree Watts , Roark and Williams are just now starting to come around from Football. All 3 are starting to look Comfey running up and down the basketball Court. Shooting is coming around also. MC by 5. Go raiders.:clap:
