Raiders keep pace early, fall 62-29 to Cubs

BAXTER — It hasn’t exactly been an easy go for the Collins-Maxwell-Baxter girls basketball team so far this season, and Tuesday night didn’t make things much easier.

Although they kept it close in the first quarter, the Raiders (0-5, 0-4 Heart of Iowa Conference) eventually were overtaken by Nevada (5-0, 4-0), which exploded for a 62-29 victory.

“They’re just one of the best teams I’ve seen in a while,” CMB coach Eric Padget said of Nevada. “They shoot the ball really well, run the floor well, they’re tall and athletic and we just couldn’t match up with them.”

Only state money should be used, because the whole state benefits from Iowa Speedway
