Reed
Despite a loss to Bishop Gorman from Las Vegas on Dec. 2, the Reed High girls basketball team has been on a roll. The Raiders are 4-1 on the young season and have been blowing out every opponent that’s not named the Gaels.
Reed’s season started on Nov. 29 with a 55-37 win over Damonte Ranch. They followed that up the next couple days playing in the High Sierra Winter Challenge in California where they won a 77-49 game against Atwater, Calif. on Nov. 30 and took home a 63-15 win over Casa Roble the next day.
The girls returned home and played their fourth game in four days against Bishop Gorman, and fell 76-59. However, the Raiders were able to bounce back and get a win last Tuesday against Bishop Manogue, 70-39.
Reed opened up conference play on Tuesday at Carson High before playing at Douglas on Friday at 5:15 p.m.

Autumn Wadsworth finished with a team high 17 points and Mariah Barraza wasn’t far behind with 11. Serena Sanchez, Jada Townsell and Kierra Johnson each scored 10 in the win.
