Notes:
The Red Raiders always play one of the states toughest pre-district schedules and last year it was tough on them. After losing seven in a row to open the season, they got district wins over Mesquite and North Mesquite to make the playoffs. New head coach Huffstickler has his work cut out for him but with players like RB Wallace coming back, the Red Raiders should return back to their winning ways.
