The football team advanced its winning streak to three games after beating Centennial 20-13 last Friday. The momentum shifted during the second quarter, as Michael Bennett intercepted the ball for the Raiders to end a major Centennial scoring threat. Tied late, the Raiders finally sealed the win with a pass from quarterback Mikal Abdul-Saboor to Jordan Owens going for the winning touchdown. Junior linebacker Derrick Balkar had 19 tackles in the game and senior Anthony Guarcello nearly kept Balkar’s pace, collecting 14 tackles of his own. “Overall the kids reacted well to adversity, and they played hard,” said head coach Bill Waters.
