Anchored by All State offensive tackle Roderick Kearney and fronted by wingman guard Nile Thomas with Braylon Hawkins, Ean Huffaker and Amaury Gallon-Cooper in between the two, the Raiders’ strong boys dispatched of Fleming Island in a battle of Clay County that lasted nearly five minutes in the trenches with the Golden Eagles holding court for the first half of the action before the Raiders maintained foot control and slowly turned the tables to win the title.

Fleming Island had an epic endurance win over Clay to advance while the Raiders had to best Raines to advance to the championship round.
