The Raiders defense continued to play with intensity during their game against the South Beach Seahawks. Their defense only gave up five 1st downs. When asked what their team goal was for this season, Coach Alex Goins replied “We played 35 kids. That’s our #1 goal is to develop everyone not just score big points.” Malik Lewis, Mike Bamgardner, Lanar Toney were all big time performers on the Raiders defense.
Coach Goins also described their offense performance last week. “Offense did alright. We fumbled three times but were able to overcome them with the help from OJ “The Juiceman” Ross. We also had great throws and catches by Jordan White and Rian Black. South Beach played a great game but our defense was ready for the win. We have a bye week this Saturday so we will prepare for a big conference game against the Titusville Terriers on the 29th.
