varsity basketball against faith christian school

After doing it countless times in practice, Mercedes Herrera ‘27 gets through the defense, dodging defenders and heading to the basket. In the girls basketball game against Faith Christian School, the team ended up losing 50-42. “We could have done so much better,” Herrera said. ”We were unfocused.” Even though the team started off slow, their determination was shown to try and get the win. “In the first half we kept losing the ball and making many mistakes," Herrera said, “but in the second half we locked in and we were able to get more points in, but still couldn't get the win.” The Raiders now switch their focus to The Covenant School, determined to take the win this time.
