The Raiders defeated Olympia in thrilling fashion on Tuesday night as a midrange fadeaway from Freshman Joe Proehl was nothin’ but net as time expired in overtime. With the bucket, the Raiders escaped with an 86-85 victory over the Spartans. Shots were falling all night for both teams in the back-and-forth affair with Malachi Carroll leading the Boys in Black with 27 points. Proehl kicked in a career high of 22 points, 7 of them coming in Overtime, to go along with 5 assists, and Junior Brenden Carton was lethal from deep with 4 huge 3 pointers to finish with 14 points. Josh Dawe and Blake Molitor also both reached double figures for the Raiders balanced scoring attack. With the win, the Raiders are now 7-6 on the season and have a tough task ahead as 10-3 PORTA/AC Central comes to Manito on Friday night. Be sure to come out and see what is building in the program.
