The hiatus was over as the Trimble County Raiders returned to the court for its season opener Monday night against the Grant County Braves. However, it wasn’t the home opener the Raiders hoped for as Grant County’s offense outpaced the team much of the night, with a 93-52 loss at the final buzzer.
“I thought we were ready to play but apparently we weren’t and we kind of reverted back to some of our habits where if somebody smacks us in the face, instead of standing up and fighting, we fold,” said head coach Ron Couch.
