Boys struggle on the offensive end in 51-45 loss to Ellsworth

Sam Cheadle led the way for the Raiders with 18 points and 5 rebounds. Payton Marquardt added 13 points and 4 assists. Tyler Madison contributed 12 points and 6 rebounds.
The start of the Ellsworth game felt very similar to the start of the Windom game for the Raiders. Their offense was slow to form, while Ellsworth got off to a quick start. Ellsworth was able to move the ball around to find their spot to strike through drives to the basket. Fulda started to come alive through the play of Cheadle. He was able to slash through the Panther defense to find key spots to attack.
