Cross country teams to run at Pinecrest in last meet

Following a pair of second-place finishes at Hinson Lake last week, the Richmond boys’ and girls’ cross country teams will compete in one more regular-season meet this week.

The Raiders and Lady Raiders will run at host Pinecrest High School, and also compete against runners from Hoke County. Race times are set for 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Tennis prepared for conference tournament

After finishing the regular season last Thursday with a big win over Scotland, the Lady Raider tennis team (6-6, 6-6 SAC) will travel to Hoke County for the SAC’s conference tournament on Tuesday.

Richmond and the other competing teams will begin singles play at 1 p.m. in Raeford with qualifications for regionals on the line.
