Hastings at Simley
7 p.m., Friday, Jan. 29

Just two seasons ago, Hastings finished with one win and 17 losses in Suburban East Conference play.

A move to the Metro East Conference last season saw the Raiders (12-4, 7-0) record a 20-win season and finish with a share of the league crown, something that hadn't been done at the school in 20 years.

Young talent keeps the Hastings offense humming, with sophomore Krystal Carlson (19.5 points and 10.8 rebounds per game) and eighth-grader Mallory Brake (13.8 ppg, 7.5 rpg) leading the way.

Simley (8-7, 4-2) almost tagged the Raiders with a loss on Dec. 18, falling 51-50 on the road.

Senior and Northern Colorado commit Abby Kain (22.3 ppg, 14.2 rpg) will try to get the Spartans back on track after two straight losses.
