On Sophomore Day inside the Libla Family Sports Complex, both the sophomores and the freshmen got the job done for No. 25 Three Rivers. The Lady Raiders racked up 27 assists on the way to a 90-50 thumping of Jefferson. It’s the 15th straight win for Three Rivers, which hasn’t lost a game since Nov. 30, finishing its regular-season home schedule with a 12-3 record. “This game is always emotional with it being the sophomores’ last regular-season home game,” Three Rivers coach Jeff Walk said. “The kids, they want to go out a winner. You want to finish this game in particular. … Once we finally got going and started sharing the basketball, it just felt like the game, it got easier for them.”
