Warren dropped down to 18-5 on Tuesday, ending the team's six-game streak of wins. They were just a bucket shy of victory and fell 53-52 to the Taft Raiders. Warriors fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team has lost against the Raiders since Tuesday.

Aniyah Shields and T'Anna Evans certainly did their best on Tuesday to avoid the loss. Shields posted 25 points and three steals, while Evans dropped a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds. Shields continues to improve, besting her previous point total in each of the last three games she's played. Trinity Dixon was another key player, putting up six points in addition to five boards and three steals.

As for Taft, they are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 61.6 points over those games.

Taft's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Mariella Harper, who shot 58% from the field en route to 19 points. That's the most points Harper has posted since back in November of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Kaelyn Flemons, who dropped a double-double with ten points and 11 rebounds.
