Offensively, the young Raiders were devastating as they averaged over three hundred yards a game to lead the city in total offense. Darryl Lewis finished the season as the leading rusher and scorer. The top defense in the city was led by Linebackers Daryl Galloway and Mark Hernandez, Noseguard Mark Aubin, and Defensive End Jim Carter. They have the potential to go through high school without a loss, commented Cooch John Vernor. With talent and leadership in abundance, it is obvious that Raider fans 'ain't seen nothin' yet.'

“Once You Get Started” The team of Mark Taylor, Buford Landrum, Roy Jones, Mike Livermore, and Charles Reed, who started till Darrell Overton had recovered from an ankle injury, was unstoppable. For the first time. Basketball was launched into a status position at a school, where up till now. Football had captured all interests. The second half race produced less than was expected. Even with Overton back in the starting lineup, the team ended up with a 4-4 record. Because of their previous performance, they were insured a spot in the district playoff against the Anderson Trojans who had finished their second half undefeated. It would prove to be a titan battle between warring teams. With the finest players in the district and a man voted Coach of the Year, the Raider roundballers brought to Reagan its first Varsity Basketball title in the 12 years of its existence. Coach Gail Simpson, a new face at Reagan after coming from McCollum, molded great individual talent into an efficient and fast-paced team capable of scoring quickly and guarding well. Coach Simpson, surely the brains behind the brawn, experimented with many combinations before finding the right offensive and defensive mixture. Apparently the mixture was ‘just right' as the Raiders rode over all comers in the first half of the district race and cinched the title with an 8-0 record. (1) Darrell Overton — Postman — Senior.
