The Richland Lady Raiders have secured their spot in the State Tournament following a solid 50-40 win against the Wayne County Lady Cats on Saturday. This victory marks a significant achievement for the team, as they prepare to compete at the “Glass House” in Murfreesboro on Wednesday, March 13th, during the TSSAA Class 1A State Tournament. In the opening round, the Lady Raiders will go head-to-head with Copper Basin, with the game scheduled to tip off at 12:45 PM at MTSU.
This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy, as it represents the first time since 1993 that a Lady Raiders basketball team has reached the State Tournament. Additionally, it is a milestone for head coach Chad Hall, who will be making his inaugural appearance in the tournament. The Richland Lady Raiders 2025 girls’ basketball team deserves heartfelt congratulations for their hard work and dedication in achieving this remarkable feat.
