Burton Blows out Rye Cove
On Friday, January 17 an amazing game was played by the Raiders. The Eagles had an 8-4 lead very early in the game. But from that point forward, the Raiders dominated. Our John I. Burton players got the lead to 19 by halftime, and finished the game with a score of 82-47.
The Raiders played incredibly as a team. Excellent offensive execution and very
intense defense were combined to stop the Eagles from flying. Together the
Raiders shot 50 percent on field goals and 62 percent on three point field
goals. They also dominated down low by
stopping most of the Eagles offense, grabbing 35 rebounds, and scoring well on
offense.
Austin J. led the team with a season high 19 points. He empowered the team by hitting back to back
three pointers when we were down early in the game. Austin played excellent defense and shot very
well.
