The regular season has wound down and the girls’ basketball playoffs have begun, with boys’ basketball and hockey pairings still to be determined as of press time.
Here’s how the Raiders fared in the past week.

A back-and-forth high scoring affair ended with the Wolves on top and a whole lot of players earning ink in both teams’ scorebooks.
Sabrina Brunet led South Burlington with three goals including the game winner with less than two minutes in the third period.
Isabel Donza did her one better in a losing effort by the Raiders and Kate Tilgner also scored for Stowe.
Feb. 18

The Raiders and Thunderbirds played to a tie in the waning days of the regular season.

Willow Romo had a hat trick for Brattleboro in the loss.
Boys’ hockey
Feb. 20
Stowe 4, Burlington 3
Peaking at the right time, the Raiders skated to their third straight win and fourth in five games down the stretch, this one over a big-league team from Vermont’s biggest burg.
After finding themselves down 2-0 to the Seahorses in the first period, the Raiders got one back in the waning seconds of the period off a goal by Bo Graves and found the net twice in the second while blanking Burlington in the middle frame.
Burlington tied things up in the early part of the third period before Ashton Tibbits put it away with the winner 13:25 into the third.
“Burlington is a very good team, is well coached, and is deep. We knew this game was going to be a tough matchup for us,” coach Jon Grace said.
Feb. 18
Stowe 4, Lyndon 1
Woody Reichelt scored his second three-period hat trick in three games as the Raiders sent Lyndon packing with a three-goal deficit.
Ashton Tibbits rounded out the scoring for Stowe, while Zachary Griffith scored LI’s solo goal.
Raider coach Jon Grace praised his team for responding well to intense physical pressure during an emotional game that saw the Stowe/PA squad sporting No. 31 on their sweaters in honor of former goalie Jack Seivwright, who died the week before in a skiing accident.
Feb. 15
Stowe 5, Brattleboro 2
Woody Reichelt scored twice to lead the Raiders to a win over Brattleboro, which made things look a little closer on paper by scoring with four ticks left on the clock.
