It was a tough match for all three Raton teams Saturday as they hosted the Elkettes for their second district match of the season.

All three teams started out slow except for the first varsity game where Raton started out on top and led until the Elkettes tied the game at 16 and then moved on for the win. The Raton girls seemed to be sluggish and their timing was off. There were several missed blocks that fell good for Elkette points.

Raton also had several slams that fell long outside the end line which gave Pojoaque the point and the serve. During game three Raton simply could not make it gel and quickly fell behind and only managed to score nine points.

Raton will now host Robertson on Tuesday October 16 at 4:00 p.m. for another district match. The Lady Tigers will have to find a way to bring things back together and return to the form they exhibited before district play started last week.
