The Raiders notched a playoff berth last year for the first time since 2020, overcoming a tough region and changes to key personnel. The momentum built last year should go a long way this time around.

Head Coach: Benji Harrison (10th Season)
2023 Record: 5-6; RND 1

“Compete for the region championship,” says Harrison of the goal for this Raiders team.
