The Lady Raiders' basketball postseason ended in Wenatchee Saturday as a nearly last-second shot bounced off the rim from almost half court.
The "crossover" game in Wenatchee was a loser-out event between teams in the WIAA's Districts 6 and 7 to determine those who would go on to the first round of the state tournament.
Lake Roosevelt took on the Davenport Lady Gorillas, whose 6-3 post proved a decisive factor with an accurate lob in the final seconds for their 45-43 win.
The Lady Raiders' poor free-throw performance in the game was a larger factor, seeing them miss 14. And a late-game, painful injury to starter Carly Neddo stopped the game until she was carried off the floor.
After LR inbounded, a desperate attempt by senior Aaliyah Marchand from nearly half court hit the rim and bounced off, ending the Lady Raider's season with a 15-9 win-loss record and ranking them 13th among 54 teams in the 2B category.
