Feb. 12, 2025-- OK, these 2024-2025 High School East senior nights getting ridiculous.

In the latest magical installment, the Lady Raiders basketball team celebrated its seniors before narrowly escaping with a two-point win over Shore rival Central Regional in what was described as a "heart-pounding" game. The victory was the team's 18th of the season, further cementing their division title as they look to the Shore Conference Tournament beginning tomorrow.

It was also longtime coach Kevin Cohen's 300th career victory.

The milestone arriving during the last game of the regular season was another marker of a special year. In addition to their Shore A South title, the Lady Raiders enjoyed a 14-game winning streak and have received contributions up and down the lineup this season.

In last night's game, it was- appropriately- seniors who led the way. Grace Crowley poured in 11 points and senior teammate Adrianna Cruz added nine. The team needed all of them, as they received a tough test from a Central Regional team with only five wins on the season. The 39-37 win was a relief that turned into a triumph.

The team, his assistant coaches, and his family joined Cohen on the court to celebrate his milestone. All of it was captured by HSE photographer extraordinaire Allison Goodwin, whose photos are featured here. Congratulations to Coach Cohen and the Lady Raiders, and good luck in the SCT!
