Portland High Head Coach Jason Haid leads the Lady Raiders tonight in a district matchup with Ionia.
Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Ionia High School.
The Lady Raiders are currently (11-1), (3-1) and riding a four game winning streak since falling to the defending State Champion Lansing Catholic Central squad nearly one month ago.
Tonight the Raiders fab four sister quartet in Malia and Lilly Thelen and Alexa and Kayla Webber who offer a one, two punch recipe of success on and off the ball, and it is keeping the team in the winners column.
“The Thelen sisters are our two leading scores,” Haid said. “One is a senior and the other is a sophomore.”
The sisters are making all the right moves as they are forcing defensive turnovers and pushing the ball in transition and finishing at the rim.
When they get the ball around the three point line the sisters are firing with precision knocking down multiple three pointers in a single game.
Against Olivet recently, the Lady Raiders shot 42 percent from downtown, forced 11 steals, grabbed 33 rebounds and one block shot.
