Rots Simpson Bobby Williams Ronnie Corter Randy Smith Doug Hill This year's Raiders started their season with two non-district games on the road. The young Raiders made their first trip down to Conroe to match wits with the number three rated team in the state selections. The Raiders fell to the Tigers 20-7, but the game was a monumental learning experience. Reagan then travelled to Temple to play the Wildcats in the pouring rain. Temple was ahead at half time with a 14-0 lead but the Raiders pulled within a close 14-12. This was lesson two for Wally Freytag's Raiders. The Raiders accumulated the knowledge gathered in the pre-season and took it with them into district play. The result was the defeat of Johnston 27-0 and the upending of Travis 29-13. Head coach Wally Freytag commented, “I felt that those tv pre-season games helped us gain in the long run. Our wins over John- ston and Travis gave momentum. And momentum was exactly what the Raid- ers needed and began to have as they moved into district play with a narrow victory over the Anderson Trojans and a thorough win over the Lanier Vikings.
