The Logan View/Scribner-Snyder Boys Basketball Team is 2-0 on the season so far as the Raiders won 67-45 at Oakland-Craig Thursday night and 74-55 at Twin River on Saturday.
The Raiders jumped on the Knights 18-7 at the end of the first quarter. LVSS tripled up Oakland-Craig 18-6 in the 2nd quarter to take a 36-13 lead into the locker room.
The Raiders won the 3rd quarter 21-17 to lead 57-30 at the end of three.
The Knights put up 15 points in the 4th quarter compared to 10 for LVSS.
Ben Moxness had 21 points and 8 rebounds while Jacob Polk added 21 points. Alex VonSeggern scored 10 while Alex Hagerbaumer notched 9.
The Raiders led 17-13 over the Titans after one. LVSS won the 2nd quarter 21-14 to take a 38-27 lead into the locker room.
LVSS took the 3rd quarter 18-16, and led 56-43 after three.
The Raiders outscored Twin River 18-12 in the 4th quarter.
Polk poured in 35 points while Moxness added 22.
LVSS is off to a blazing start. Exactly the type of start the Raiders were hoping for I'm sure.
LVSS (2-0) hosts Wayne (1-1) Tuesday night.
The Blue Devils lost 68-61 at home to Battle Creek Friday night.
Wayne is a tough, good team, and figures to give the Raiders a test, but I like LVSS to win at home.
I think Polk and Moxness will be too much for the Blue Devils to slow down and contain, and feel that the Raiders are the better team.
I think this will be anywhere from a 10-15 point game, and like LVSS to win by something like that margin.
The Raiders won 68-61 at Wayne last year, and I think both teams are even better this year.
LVSS has to get off to the same kind of start they did against Oakland-Craig, and play well like they did the entire game against Twin River.
If the Raiders can put together 4 good quarters Tuesday night they should be able to win by a good margin I would think.
LVSS has to look to push tempo and play fast and force the Blue Devils into some tough shots.
Wayne likes to run and gun too I'm pretty sure, but I feel the Raiders are better at getting out in transition and knocking down open shots.
Both teams' offenses have been stout so far, but LVSS's has proven to be more explosive I would say.
I also think the Raiders have a better defense, and that's why I look for LVSS to beat the Blue Devils.
It could be argued that Wayne has played tougher teams so far, but the margin of victory for the Raiders can't be overlooked by any means.
This LVSS team appears to be very legit, and if the first two weeks are any indication of how the season is going to go, then Raider fans are in for a huge treat this year.
LVSS has a tough game at Wahoo on Saturday, and I think that's game we'll find out just how for real and legit this Raider team is so there's one more chance for LVSS to clean up any mistakes they've made in the first two games before a great team comes calling.
The Raiders haven't really made a lot of mistakes so far it doesn't look like at least based on their scores so LVSS simply has to keep it up, and continue to do what they've been doing.
I think Tuesday night is another chance and time for the Raiders to shine and showcase their abilities as a team.
The Logan View/Scribner-Snyder girls basketball team opened the season with a 53-32 loss to Oakland-Craig on the road Thursday night. LVSS got off to a slow start and was unable to close the gap to get back in the game. Leading scorers were: Morgan Morgan-9, Valerie Uehling-8.
The Raiders ended the week with a 33-32 loss in overtime to Twin River on the road Saturday. LVSS went on a big second half run to tie the game and Sierra Beacom hit two free throws with 1.5 seconds left to send it to overtime. Big Scorers for LVSS were: Kaylee Boyle-9, Sierra Beacom-8.
I was very impressed by the Raiders' performance against the Titans. I felt like LVSS did a great job making some clutch plays in nearly winning that game.
The Raiders (0-2) host Wayne (1-1) Tuesday night.
The Blue Devils won 69-57 at home over Battle Creek Friday night.
I feel LVSS has a chance to be very competitive in and make this game close.
The Raiders' defense has been solid so far, now it's just a matter of getting the offense going.
Wayne has given up 78 and 57 in their first two games, and I feel LVSS has a chance to score more points in this game than they did in either of their first two games.
If the Raiders can hold the Blue Devils under 50 points and get to 40 or more I think LVSS has a chance to pull this one out.
The game is at home, and I fully expect the Raiders to play well.
North Bend Central only beat Twin River by 5, and LVSS nearly beat them, so the Raiders have to feel like they've got a shot Tuesday night.
The girls have to get pumped up and excited for this one.
They have to feel optimistic about their chances, and have to believe in themselves, in each other, and in their abilities.
LVSS has to feel like they've got a legit shot to win, because if they play defense the way they did against Twin River, and get the offense on track, I truly believe they can win.
Wayne might be a little bit more explosive offensively though, which makes playing great defense very important.
Just taking the Titans to overtime and having a chance to win has to give the Raiders a big boost of confidence heading into this one I would think.
LVSS now knows it can hang with a great team, and now it's a matter of going out there and beating one.
Thursday night's game was a bit rough, I felt the Raiders settled in nicely on defense against Twin River, and made a great 4th quarter rally.
Now it's just a matter of clicking on all cylinders and playing 4 good quarters of basketball against the Blue Devils.
Things started to come together for LVSS on Saturday, and I feel there's a chance they can come all together for the Raiders Tuesday night.
