Highlights

In 2008 the Raiders finished the season 11 - 25 and 7 - 9 in conference. Due to weather they only played two of their final 4 games on the conference schedule and needed to sweep that day to qualify for state. The Raiders won the first game 10 - 0, but dropped the second, 4 - 9 to miss the playoffs. The Raiders are looking at a dependable returning class and a talented group of Freshmen to get them back to the state tournament this year.
