Robbie Pelster giving a Lewisti The Mead Raiders Football team hit the lowest low and the highest high during the 1987 season. The Raiders had to overcome more than the opponents they played; they had to overcome the loss of a teammate. The Raiders came into the season with the rating of fifth in class D-1. With the loss of Chris Winkelman. the papers felt that the Raiders were still in an emotional shock. The Raiders put their sorrow into dedication to win the State Title. Their first two opponents felt the dedication, as the Raiders exploded to end the games early. The Raiders then went on to end five more games early, including the first round of the Play-offs. In the second round of the Play-offs, the Raiders avenged the last season loss to Bancroft-Ro- salie with a 36-20 victory. The Raiders then meet up with Lewiston. Lew- iston gave the Raiders a very good test, but they passed and earned a spot in the Championship game. The Raiders then went on to prove their dedication to win the State Title with a 58-36 victory over Ansley. The Raiders still feel the pain of the loss of a teammate, but the State Champi- onship helped ease some of the pain. Tackle him, don't dance with him. Doug Langemeier a ride.
