“We got off to a great start tonight outscoring Raymond in the first quarter 12-3. Raymond pushed the tempo in the second quarter but I was proud of my guys and how they absorbed the run and still won the quarter. We went into halftime with a 23-13 lead. Our defensive pressure sped them up for much of the game,” said Fall Mountain head coach Mitch Harrison. “We we didn’t close things out as smoothly as I would have liked in the fourth quarter, turning the ball over too much.”
High scorer for Raymond was Drezall Duffaut with eight.
