He became the journey and like all journeys he did not end,

he simply changed directions and kept going. "

The South Ripley Raiders ended their season Friday night with a 63-48 victory over the Jac-Cen-Del Eagles. The Raiders ended their season with a 20-1 record and gained an ORVC Championship title. Great season, Raiders! Your journey isn't over...

Your South Ripley Raiders will start the sectional tournament on Tuesday night against the North Decatur Chargers! Let's bring home a VICTORY!

To Our Seniors:

“On this court, you’ve literally left it all- blood, sweat and tears. You’ve made friendships that will always be a part of you. You’ve fought side-by-side with men who can relate how badly you want to win. This court holds your laughter as tightly as it holds your frustration. Life goes on off this court, but nothing can compare to the feeling you have while standing on it. Each time you shoot a shot or stand on this court know in your heart what it stands for, and remember these years and all the memories it holds.”

The journey isn’t over yet— let’s keep rolling! Thanks for the memories!

Simon Westmeyer, Bryce Franklin, Jaden Peetz, and Cody Samples
