The Raiders would turn the ball over 7 times compared to 13 from the Gorilla’s. “We did an excellent job on the glass. Last year we gave up a lot of second chance points to them. They have been getting a lot of second chance points this year. We limited them to one offensive rebound the entire game. That is team box out. We got to run a lot of specials and different looks on offense and were very successful at converting them. Another great team win and we just got to keep moving forward one game at a time.”
