District win leads to playoffs

On Friday, November 4th, the Raider football team won the Cumberland District Championship.  This makes the second consecutive year they have won districts.  The Raiders played Thomas Walker on this date and had a final score of 46-7.   The team ended their district with 7 wins and 3 losses.  Therefore, they will be competing in the playoffs.

Junior, Andrew C., says that it feels amazing to have won district.  He also believes that the team can make it to state if they keep working hard and never settle with the level they are at, meaning there is always room for improvement.  Senior, Roy T., agrees that the team should keep practicing to make it to state.

The Raiders are currently preparing for the first playoff game of the season.  The game is on Saturday, November 12 against Narrows at John I. Burton High School.  Come help support the Raiders!
