Raiders fall in Division One State title game

Written Saturday March 16th at 3:07 PM

The clock struck midnight for the Raiders.

North Farmington rallied late and got it into single digits but they couldn’t overcome a rough third quarter and fell 63-52 to Orchard Lake St. Marys at the Breslin Center on the campus of Michigan State University in the Division One State Finals.

It’s the third straight year that North Farmington has fallen to Orchard Lake St. Marys.

Tyler Spratt led the Raiders with 17 points but fouled out early in the fourth quarter. Landon Williams added 16 points in the contest.

North Farmington could not stop Trey McKenney. He had a career high 32 points and had a triple double. Sharod Barnes added 11 points for the Eaglets.

The Raiders had a great season, winning 24 games and sharing the Red with West Bloomfield. They lose Spratt, Williams, Vinnie Lee, and Dylan Smith to graduation. Coach Todd Negoshian has several proven players coming back next season. Program strength is also solid for North Farmington.

They will be back, that is for sure.

More on this game will be on the podcast on Monday.
