The Rockledge Raiders will be taking part in a tournament against the Boone Braves at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Friday, Rockledge earned a 56-48 win over Eau Gallie. Given the Raiders' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 204th, while the Commodores are ranked 573rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

The team also got some help courtesy of Brady Kearns, who dropped a double-double on ten points and 12 rebounds.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Boone). They strolled past Mount Dora Christian Academy with points to spare on Saturday, taking the game 80-62. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Rockledge better keep an eye on Connor Summer. He was instrumental in Boone's win, going 11 of 15 en route to 28 points and six rebounds. Those 28 points gave Summer a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Joan Orta, who went 6 of 11 on his way to 14 points and three steals.
Boone was working as a unit and finished the game with 24 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
