This year started with everyone wondering what the year was going to be like. The Raiders returned many lettermen who got in on a lot of action the year before. After a successful season the year before this year’s seniors were ready to do the same. The Raiders started off the season with two straight wins over Jeff West and Wamego. Then they lost two straight to Hiawatha and Holton. They recovered the next week beating Maur Hill in a tough defensive battle. They lost the next week to Sabetha in double over time. They went into districts winning three in a row over Royal Valley, Horton, and ACCHS. They were District Champs. They went on to play Bi-Districts where they lost to Imaculata. The Raiders ended the season 6-4 which was a little improvement over last years 5-5. The Raiders fought through many injuries throughout the season, but managed to get over them and end with a successful season.
This years seniors showed a lot of leadership and how not to give up when things aren’t going your way. The seniors this year were Curt, Loren, Joe, Travis, David, Chris, Kevin, Cameron r, Jared, and Brice. These seniors showed a lot of heart in every game never giving up and will be missed.
