The Raiders broke the school record for most points scored in a game and most field goals in a game with 38. They improve to 15-3 overall and remain perfect at 8-0 in Central Buckeye Conference Mad River division play.
“It’s a good accomplishment for the girls,” said BL head coach Donnie Sosby. “It shows their hard work is paying off. Playing well together helps a lot, too, with something like this. They played very well together and shot the ball extremely well in the first half.”
The previous scoring record was 91 points set in 1990 against Waynesfield-Goshen, while the previous field goal record was 36 set in 1988.
Ben Logan led 73-26 at the end of the third quarter. That is when Sosby gave his squad a chance at setting the scoring record.
“When we got within 20 points in the fourth quarter we decided to go for it,” said Sosby. “We hadn’t talked about it before. It just came about and I thought when would they get another chance at it, because they may not.
