Raptor girls hold off West Monona 50-43

What started off looking like another ho-hum Ridge View girls basketball win turned into a close contest, as Ridge View defeated West Monona by seven to advance to the conference tournament championship game. The Raptors raced out to a 19-4 lead, and it looked like the outcome would be decided early. West Monona had other ideas, however, trimming the lead to 19-11 after one quarter and tying the game at 21 in the second quarter. The two squads traded baskets the rest of the period and went into the halftime break tied at 27.
