Raiders win district, advance to playoffs Lacking size and experience, the Raiders were supposed to have a rebuilding year in 1974, instead, the squad's size was overcome by speed and its lack of experience was offset by determination and pride. The end result was the school's first outright Catholic district football championship. Under the masterful eye of head coach Don Perret, the Raiders utilized a potent offensive attack via the veer and combined this with its vaunted Super Ants defense. He said the district title was the climax of the season, but his Raiders advanced to the State Semi-Finals where they were outpointed in Shreveport by state runner-up Fair Park. ' The Raiders began their road to state in the annual Christian Brothers' Jamboree where they outmanned the St. John Chargers, 14-O. Pre-district action began the following weekend against East Jefferson. The veer offense began rolling and picked up three touchdowns for a 21-0 score. Abramson proved tough as the 21 -1 9 score indicates. The Raider defense faltered several times, but produced one of the Rummel scores as Tom Coon recovered a Commodore fumble in the endzone. Quarterback Joe Burckel led the team by completing 6 of 7 passes for 91 yards and by running for 86 more. Greg Schaff ran for 1 12 yards. Football 75
