Notes:
* Have now gone to the Quarterfinals 2 seasons in a row
- Mike Says: The Raiders return 13 starter and 32 lettermen from last years Quarterfinals team. This year they will again feature a good running game and defense. They will depend on QB J.T. Barrett a lot and he will be able to deliver. Look or another 10 win season as they should go 8-2 or 9-1 in the regular season and then go 2 or 3 rounds into the playoffs. Their district game vs. Denton Guyer should be for the district title.
- Chris Says: Wichita Falls Rider had another great year last season and knocked off some really talented squads as they went deep into the playoffs for the second year in a row. This season, they bring back 32 lettermen and the majority of their offense. I expect the Raiders to be right there again this season. Whether or not they take the district title, the Raiders will be a force in the playoffs once again.
