Raiders get week off after win over rising Tri-Cities

Last week was a week of rest for the football team. On Oct. 3, the Raiders defeated Tri-Cities 19-6 to move to 6-0 on the season. So far, the defense has dominated for Mays, allowing no more than 20 points in all six games. Offensively, it has been a bit more of a struggle for the Raiders, ranked No. 2 in Class 4A. The Raiders have scored at least 28 points in only three games this year. Desmond Walker has carried the offense on the ground. In the victory over Tri-Cities he ran for 230 yards and three touchdowns. This Saturday, Mays will meet Banneker at Lakewood Stadium before traveling to Villa Rica to take on the Wildcats next Friday. … It was a great ending to the regular season for the Lady Raiders softball team. After losing seven of its last eight games, the Raiders closed out the regular season with a big 10-0 shutout win over Tri-Cities. The shutout was the team’s second of the year, and first since Aug. 20.
