The Varsity Boys Basketball team hosted cross-town rivals North Atlanta Saturday afternoon, December 10. The Raiders improved to 10-1 on the season with an 80-55 non-region victory over the Warriors.
Although the Warriors held their own in the first half, they could not sustain it over the final two periods. The Raiders led by two points at the end of the first quarter and stretched it to a ten point lead over the next two periods. A 25-10 burst in the final quarter provided the final margin of victory before a supportive Saturday afternoon student section.

Coach Jenkins was able to play all 11 players who dressed for the game.
