With Mother Nature having the final say in when the 2016 South Ripley High School Homecoming game would actually occur, all ended well. On Thursday night, Feb. 12, suits, ties and gowns were the center court attraction with Raiders JV and Varsity Boys Basketball action against visiting South Dearborn Knights acting as bookends for the festive program.
