The Bolingbrook Raiders girls basketball team -- ranked No. 2 in the ESPN RISE Fab 50 -- has added a new game to the front end of its schedule.
The Raiders will now open their season on Nov. 18 at home against Morgan Park. Bolingbrook athletic director Alec Anderson told The Brook Blog that the agreement to play the game was formalized in the past 10 days.
Originally, Bolingbrook was to open the season on Nov. 22 at Blue Star Basketball's Country Classic. At the one-game showcase event, the Raiders will play Indianapolis power Ben Davis.
The Giants -- ranked 19th in the Fab 50 -- feature Big Ten recruits Alex Bentley and DeeDee Williams.
So instead of starting a new season against one of the best programs from Indiana in some strange gym in Champaign, the Raiders will get it going against someone willing to play the state runners-up on short notice at home. Those seem like friendly changes.
