The Arcadia girls basketball team continued their stellar run through Coulee play thus far with a win over Black River Falls, which came as a rebound from a non-conference loss to Eleva-Strum just a few days earlier.
The Raiders (8-6, 5-2 Coulee) have a pair of home games on the slate over the next week against Westby on Thursday at 7 p.m. and Cochrane-Fountain City on Monday at 7 p.m.
E-S 58 Arcadia 34
