Crystal Ball: It looks as if the Raiders could be a team in transition in 2024-25. One of the key players who should be returning for this season is guard Jonah Kim, who had a big game against La Habra last season and will be matched up in the backcourt with Tyler Holmquist, who had meaningful minutes last year. The program is very high on sophomore Jayden Barnes, another guard projected to have a big season. We’ll learn much about the Raiders from the start as they will play in the Sunny Hills Tournament, which is loaded with top-quality teams. Look for Sonora to be once again a major player for a league title with one of the top longtime coaches back at the helm.
