With the conference schedule reaching the halfway mark tonight in Hattiesburg, the Raiders and Lady Raiders are both performing well. The Raiders are still unbeaten in 6A play at 4-0, while the Lady Raiders are sitting at 3-1 in second place. Last week, the Raiders were perfect at 3-0, which included three convincing wins over previously unbeaten MRA, 69-47, St. Joseph 63-36, and even an MHSAA 7A squad in Madison Central, 80-48, during The Rumble in the South. The Lady Raiders responded after their first conference loss on Wednesday with a 65-39 win over St. Joseph.

- Mason Williams scored a career-high 27 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals in the win over previously unbeaten MRA.
