Raiders basketball team snaps losing streak

by | Dec 9, 2020 | Sports

Wylie East needed a turn­around early in the season and got it due to an offensive out­burst.

Led by Luke Carter, the Raid­ers picked up wins over Green­ville and Turner before losing to Lakeview Centennial to finish the week. Overall the two-win week was the best from Wylie East this season, who went into the slate 1-4 overall and im­proved to 3-5 now early in the season.

Carter led the way with 20 points in the 60-50 win over Greenville. A 21-point first quarter set the tone for the Raid­ers, and then the defense also stepped in and held the Lions to just four points in the second quarter. While Wylie East strug­gled to score before the half to strengthen their lead, it was enough as the offense found its footing again in the third. They outscored Greenville in each quarter.
