Raider Up for Hoops action

This is the heartland of Indiana so, of course, there is always some awesome action on the Harrison basketball court!  Here are a few highlights of last night's game vs. West Lafayette.  The Raiders may have come up a bit short on the final score, but there was no shortage of excitement and action on the hardwood throughout the evening!  Even the Indiana Pacers mascot "Boomer" stopped by to cheer on the HHS men!

Even more impressive than the dynamite hoops action, the students of Harrison teamed up with the students of West Lafayette HS to raise over $9,000 to begin a scholarship fund in memory of their classmate Katherine ("Kate") Baker who was killed by a drunk driver this past November.  That is incredible!!!  

Here's a few images of the action.  To view the entire collection of photos, you may  double click on any of the images (this will take you to www.Flickr.com) and then click on the HHS Basketball collection shown to the right of the center image.  To view images as a slideshow, go to www.thgphotography.com (enter site, click client proofing, enter raiderbball09 as password).
