The Raiders earned a hard fought 66-63 victory in their home opener against a very good Rossville team. While they led for the majority of the game, they were not able to shake the Hornets and trailed in the 4th quarter before making a run and getting a defensive stop to preserve the victory. Sophomore Ben Henderson made both ends of 1 and 1 with 8 seconds left to extend the lead to three.

Senior Bryant Smith had a season high 17 points to lead the way while the Raiders were led on the glass by senior Grant Mithoefer and Ben Henderson each with 7.
