Preview: Riverwood Raiders vs. Dunwoody Wildcats
The Riverwood Raiders will look to defend their home court on Friday against the Dunwoody Wildcats at 6:00 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

McGrath scored a full 57.7% of Riverwood's points, the sixth time in a row she's earned more than a third of the team's points. Another player making a difference was May Weis, who scored 5 points along with 11 rebounds.
