The Red Raiders came out of the dark again to be a strong contender in the NWAAA League with a very respectable 7- 2 record. With an explosive offense and a sturdy defense the Raiders defeated the two teams expected to dominate the NWAAA League. A twenty point second half surge and a tough defense defeated the league champion Mt. Vernon Bulldogs 20-6. Then to finish the season off, a fine team effort shutout the Sehome Mariners 19-0, which was the first time in seven years that the Raiders have beaten Sehome. Having two fine seasons in a row for mentor Vel West, you can bet the rest of the league will cast a wary eye on the Raiders in the future. As for the Seniors, it is a good way to end their fine careers at B.H.S. and give them something to look back on. If the next year’s team shows the same desire and hard work you can count on their keeping up the tradition at B.H.S.
