SANFORD — A running clock for much of the second half set the tempo for the Richmond Raider basketball team Friday.

The Raiders recorded their 11th straight win in a 92-40 victory over Lee County High School.

Four players recorded double figures — Paul McNeil Jr. (19 points), Braylon Barfield (18 points), Javian Drake (17 points) and Ahaiver McDonald (14 points).

A total of eight players scored in the win and Barfield recorded a double-double with 11 rebounds. Senior David McNair netted nine points, all coming on three-pointers.

McNeil Jr. initiated the running clock when he tipped in an offensive rebound with just over three minutes to go in the third quarter.
