T The slates were cleaned as the race for the district crown began on December 26 with De La Salle. The Raiders gave Coach Robarts a great Christmas Gift as they went on to defeat De La Salle, 60-49. Apparently the Raiders concentrated a bit too much on the Cavaliers for it took a last second shot by Billy Schaefer to defeat Jesuit 33-31, and put the Raiders at 2-0 in district. Holy Cross was next for the Raiders but the inconsistency struck once again as Rummel collected their first district loss, 72-54. St. Augustine furthered the Raiders' miseries by defeating them, 54-48. The last three games were must games for Rummel, however, the Raiders came through on only two, defeating Shaw, 66-56, and Chalmette, 76-63. The Raiders lost a heartbreaker to Brother Martin, 57-55, on a last second shot. With a 4-3 record the Raiders had to look to the future. The future was the second round and it started off like the first with a victory over De La Salle, 53-52. This was followed by crushing losses to Jesuit, 40-39 and Holy Cross, 61-54, which put the Raiders' chances in ieopardy. ln ci must win situation, the Raiders went on to defeat St. Augustine, 51-48, Shaw, 61-41, Chalmette, 59-49, and then finished the regular season revenging their first round loss to Brother Martin, 49-37.
