Raider boys end their postseason in overtime

The Raiders ended their basketball post-season Thursday after one game against the Bridgeport Mustangs that went into overtime.

The Raiders were up by 13 points early in the third quarter but the Mustangs picked away at that lead, overtaking it by a point with just under two minutes to go in regulation. The Raiders led again but Bridgeport tied it with a foul shot at 54 each with 16 seconds left.

The Raiders pulled ahead by two halfway throught the four-minute overtime, 58-56. But the Mustangs pried their way back with foul shots, winning the loser-out game, 61-59.

Lake Roosevelt ended the season with a 2-4 league record, 7-14 overall.

Bridgeport ended up in fourth place in the league, behind Tonasket, Liberty Bell and number-one Okanogan, all of whom will head to the District 5 tourney in Wenatchee and Eastmont Feb. 13- 21.
