Raider scoring Is still the leading Georgetown Raider point tetter a position he has held since the season began The Raiders have a very potent offense this year as than their players arc averaging at least one point game Before season Is out the Raiders could have eight shooters in the lineup A few of the players ore to have to net hot but it is still a remote possibility This would be over a 36game schedule So far seven players have already hit double figures ana has nine goals Daley is capable of scoring goals in bunches so it is still very possible that he can score Don forget the
