If Chester wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Burney, they should've done a better job of containing Aaliyah Perez. The Burney Raiders walked away with a 61-52 win over the Chester Volcanoes on Tuesday thanks in part to Perez, who shot 6-for-8 from deep and dropped a double-double on 31 points and 11 steals. That makes it four consecutive games in which she has scored at least a third of Burney's points.
