YUCAIPA - The Yucaipa Raptors beat the Warriors 39 - 32 to take the 3rd / 4th Division Championship Win last Saturday at the Yucaipa Community Center.
In what was a VERY exciting and close championship game, the Raptors and Warriors showed why they both deserved to be in the final. Jack Austin (MVP) stayed true to his usual high standards of play and made a number of very impressive baskets and rebounds.
Coach Stafford's game plan of a strong defensive strategy really payed off right from the beginning of the game, allowing the Raptors to maintain a lead for the duration of the game. Both JT Clemente and Dillon Stewart demonstrated their strenghts in the defense area.
Evan Esquivel again delivered strong rebounding. Dalton Stafford displayed his point guard skills and lightning speed on the court. Coach Stafford and Asst Coach Tossetti proudly awarded the team their championship trophies after the game and expressed their sincerest of thanks to the team and the support of their families in what turned out to be a most enjoyable season and win for all!
