IF ONLY . . . Close losses faced with dignity It ' s 7:15 p.m. The Raiders are out on the field warming up for the big game against Victo- ria High. Everyone is fired up and ready to go. It is now 7:30 p.m., and the Raiders are lined up out on the field waiting for the kick off. And they ' re off! Everybody is playing up to their abil- ity. The score is ried 10 up. Victoria High has the ball and is going up for a field goal. It ' s good, and the Raiders lose 10- 13. It was an exciting game for the Raiders. We really do have a great ball club, and we give it our best said Maurice Tolbert, senior. I feel that if every play- er would give 110% at all times we would be unstopable. said Ron- nie Barnes senior. We were really excited about winning against Alice 19 to 12. I played my best and I was sat- isfied with our win, said Arndra Thomas, junior. The Raiders faced hard losses with dignity. The Raiders finished their season against Ray with a win 33 to 2, and wound up in a three way tie for second place in district. The only way Stroman could have ad- vanced to the playoffs was if Victoria High lost their final district game against Miller The only thing we could do was wait, and hope Miller could take care of Vic- toria said Ronnie Barnes senior. Even though the Raiders did not make the playoffs they still had a great season. Eve- ry player did their best. The Raiders were fired up after their game against Alice, one that most people did not ex- pect the team to pull off. I was happy with the win, but I wasn ' t too happy about not making the playoffs, said Arn- dra Thomas, junior. It was a great season, but we deserved to go a lit- tle further than we did. said Melvin Tolbert.
