HOLSTEIN — Winning 53-14 in Class 2A Region 1 tournament play on Tuesday was quite a statement for the Ridge View girls basketball team.

The Raptors from the time the opening tip went up were ballin’. The 39 point victory is the largest margin of victory this season and most since last February’s 41 point victory against Siouxland Christian.

Our defensive effort was great and we made it very difficult for them to find a rhythm.  We were able to force 31 turnovers.I thought we settled in well offensively and found ways to work the ball around. It would be nice to finish a little better around the rim at times, but I thought we were getting the looks we wanted.

• Brian Bode, Ridge View head girls basketball coach
