Lincoln-Way West High School’s girls basketball team is set to commence its 2025-26 season on the road at the Rich Township Raptor Classic. This tournament will provide the Warriors with an early opportunity to test their roster and establish a foundation for the upcoming year.
The opening game is scheduled for November 17, 2025, though details regarding the tip-off time and opponent are yet to be announced.
According to sources, Lincoln-Way West enters the season with a blend of returning varsity players and promising newcomers. The team aims to build chemistry and evaluate rotations in this competitive early-season environment. The tournament setting offers a chance for the Warriors to implement offseason improvements in both offensive execution and defensive consistency while facing unfamiliar opponents in neutral-court conditions. Coaches will emphasize ball movement, rebounding, and transition play as they seek to ensure a strong start to the season.
Following this opener, Lincoln-Way West will continue participating in the Rich Township Raptor Classic before returning home for regular-season play later in November. Full schedules will be finalized once bracket assignments are confirmed.
