On this last day of September it’s a perfect time to reveal the answer to the last September Raider Friday Trivia question from yesterday. Since joining division 1 in 2010 the Raider girls basketball team has been to the sectional semifinals… 4 times. Unfortunately the girls fell in the semifinals on all 4 occasions losing to Braintree (2013, 2016) and Mansfield (2010, 2017).

Happy last Friday of September everyone! The weather certainly is starting to feel more like fall, and also it’s time for the last September edition of Raider Friday Trivia. No prize today but still get your guesses in. Today’s question is… how many times has the Raider girls basketball team made the sectional semifinals since joining division 1? Answer tomorrow!
