The Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) Senior Lady Raiders also hosted a four team mini-tournament over the recent weekend. Coach Tony Hayden reports in addition to the Senior Lady Raiders, Roblin, Esterhazy and Regina Christian Academy battled for the tournament title. The event was a round robin tournament with each team playing each other team.
The Senior Lady Raiders are doing quite well defensively says Hayden. Offensively they have some problems turning the ball over a lot more than he believes they should be this season. "That's going to make or break the rest of our season," he suggests. "If we are willing to take care of the ball we can advance. If we don't then we'll be finished early," Hayden adds.
The girl's measure up well in height with a pair of seniors over six feet tall. They can use some improvement in their shooting. The big issue is being strong with the ball and taking care of it and not giving other people opportunities from their mistakes, he emphasizes.
Following an invitational tournament at Notre Dame, the Lady Raiders will take in the conference playoffs, also at Notre Dame.
YRHS tournament results saw YRHS claim the tournament title with a 3-0 record. Regina Christian Academy were tournament runners up with a 2-1 record. Roblin placed third with a 1-2 record and Esterhazy finished in fourth place with a 0-3 record.
Robin Bendfeld led the way for the Lady Raiders hitting the hoop 10 times for 13 attempts to score 20 points and pull in 19 rebounds.
Rebecca McLaren put up 11 points and pulled in eight rebounds against Regina Christian Academy and scored 156 points against Roblin.
