RAIDERS TAME THE MIGHTY TIGERS
January 30, 2010 - 07:00 PM
THE DUVAL TIGERS CAME TO LEVY COUNTY LOOKING TO BEAT THE 0-1 RAIDERS ONLY FOR THE GAME TO BE MOVED FROM 3 PM IN BRONSON TO A 7PM KICK OFF AT THE WILLISTON CARDINALS NEST. WITH WEATHER ISSUES AND THE LACK OF LIGHTS AT THE BRONSON FIELD THE GAME WAS KICKED OFF ON FIRMILIAR GROUNDS FOR THE RAIDERS. THE W.Y.A.A . HELD HOST FOR THE FORMER HOME TEAM. AFTER GOING UNDEFEATED AND WINNING A CHAMPIONSHIP ON THAT FIELD THE ATMOSPHERE FELT QUITE FRIENDLY FOR THE HOME BUT VISITING RAIDERS. THE GAME WOULD START WITH A EXCELLENT DRIVE BY THE RAIDERS AT THE HELM OF NEWLY RECRUITED QUARTERBACK CANTRELL RICHARDSON MOVING THE TEAM SWIFTLY UP THE FIELD. THE DRIVE WOULD HOWEVER HALT AT THE TIGERS 9 ON A FUMBLE. THATS WHERE THE STINGY DEFENSE COMES TO WORK PUNISHING THE DUVAL LINE AND FORCEING BAD THROWS BY THE ATHLETIC QB AND STUFFING THE RUN EVERYWHERE. THE TIGERS PUNTED AND THE RAIDERS O WENT BACK TO WORK. CANTRELL CAME TO PLAY ON THIS NIGHT AS THE LINE HAD A GREAT NIGHT BLOCKING AND THE BACKS MADE GREAT CUTS THE RUN GAME WAS ON POINT. CANTRELL TOOK A SNAP FROM SHOT GUN AND SCAMPERED DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FIELD FOR A TOUCHDOWN FROM OVER 40 YARDS AWAY FOR THE GAMES FIRST 6 POINTS. THE NEXT RAIDERS OFFENSIVE DRIVE WAS YET AGAIN PROMISING SEEING CANTRELL GET RIGHT BACK TO WORK. HE FOUND JUSTIN KING ON A QUICK PASS THAT LEFT KING WITH NOTHING BUT ROOM AND BLOCKERS DOWN FIELD. HE MADE A MOVE DOWN THE LEFT SIDELINE ONLY TO COUGH IT UP AT THE TIGERS 3 YARD LINE AFTER GAINING OVER 30. THE RAIDERS HELD THEIR HEADS HIGH IT WAS THE DEFENSES TIME TO SHINE. AFTER A TIGER TIME OUT THE RAIDERS FORCED A SAFTEY ON THE NEXT PLAY. DUVAL TRIED A TOSS PLAY THAT WAS NOT TO GO ANYWHERE AS DT RYAN HUDSON LB RONNIE FISHER AND THE ENTIRE DEFENSE SWARMED TO THE BALL 3 YARDS DEEP INTO THE ENDZONE. THE TIGERS KICKED IT OFF TO THE RAIDERS AFTER THE SAFTEY AND BACK TO WORK DID THE RAIDERS OFFENSE GO ON A SHORT ONE PLAY DRIVE GOING 67 YARDS IN THE AIR ON A RICHARDSON GAZDUN CONNECTION. GAZDUN FOLLOWED TO BALL THE WHOLE WAY JUMPING OVER 2 DEFENDERS AND COUGHT THE TIPPED PASS AND TROTTED THE REMAINGING 17 YARDS UNTOUCHED. THIS GAVE THE RAIDERS A 16-0 LEAD GOING INTO HALFTIME. AFTER THE HALF THE RAIDERS AGAIN WOULD SHOW THE OFFENSE COULD MOVE THE BALL WITH GREAT CARRIES FROM KEITH GILYARD, BRANDON MATHIS, CANTRELL RICHARDSON, SAM WALKER AND JEFF DELONG. ONLY TO HAVE THE TIGERS DEFENSE COME TO LIFE. AFTER A BAD SNAP THAT SAILED OVER PUNTER RONNIE FISHERS HEAD THE TIGERS TOOK OVER ON THE 2 YARD LINE. ON THE NEXT PLAY IT WAS THE TIGERS ON THE BOARD WITH 6 TAKING THE SCORE TO 16-6. BUT THE RAIDERS WOULD HAVE THE LAST SCORE OF THE GAME AGAIN IN THE AIR ON A RICHARDSON TO KING CONNECTION TO CLOSE OUT THE SCORING. THE FINAL SCORE YOUR RAIDERS 24 THE DUVAL TIGERS 6
RAIDERS SUFFER LOSS IN SEASON OPENER
January 23, 2010 - 07:00 PM
THE SEASON DIDNT OPEN THEY WAY WE ALL HAD HOPED. BANGED UP FROM A ROUGH PRE SEASON AND SHORT HANDED THE RAIDERS WENT HOME ON THE LOSEING END OF A DOG FIGHT 20-6. THE SEASON OPENING LOSS CAME AT THE HANDS OF THE SCRAPPY WILLISTON CARDINALS. THE GAME WILL PROMISE TO BE A RIVALRY FOR YEARS TO COME. THE CARDINALS ARE A BRANCH OFF OF THE LEVY COUNTY RAIDERS AND HAVE DONE WELL PUTTING TOGETHER A FANTASTIC ORGANISATION. WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH THEM THE BEST OF LUCK THE REST OF THE WAY AND HOPE THEY PLAY OUT HEALTHY. THE DEFENSE WAS SOLID WITH STAND OUT PERFORMANCES BY JOE GAZDUN, PAT WEEKS, BRIAN BUTCHER AND BART GRANT. ON OFFENSE MIKE PADGETT HAD A GREAT GAME FILLING IN AT QB AT THE LAST MOMENT. GREAT CARRIES BY SAM WALKER AND JARRET SERVANCE WERE ENOUGH TO GET THE RAIDERS ON THE BOARD. IT WAS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE ONE WE WILL NOT FORGET.
SEASON OPENS JANUARY 23RD
THE RAIDERS GET SET TO KICK OFF THE SEASON AWAY ON JANUARY 23RD VS THE WILLISTON CARDINALS. THIS IS BEING CALLED THE LEAGUES GAME OF THE WEEK AND IT WILL BE THE START OF A NEW BEGINNING FOR THE TWO TEAMS AS THEY WERE ONE UNIT LAST YEAR. WE WANT TO WISH ALL MEMEBERS OF THE LEAGUE THE BEST OF LUCK AND HOPE EVERYONE STAYS HEALTY.
FORMER GATOR STAND OUT COMMITS TO YOUR RAIDERS
THE LEVY COUNTY RAIDERS ARE PLEASED TO SAY THEY HAVE RECEIVED A COMMITMENT FOR THE UPCOMEING SEASON FROM MO MITCHELL. MO PLAYED UNDER RON ZOOK AT UF AND WAS NAMED TO THE ALL DECADE (2000-2009) UF TEAM FOR OFFENSIVE GUARD BUT WILL PLAY TACKLE FOR THE RAIDERS. HE WILL LEAD A GREAT OFFENSIVE UNIT THIS YEAR. WE LOOK FOWARD TO BUILDING ON THE CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON LAST YEAR WITH A STRONG RUN THIS YEAR. STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFORMATION ON OTHER PLAYER SIGNINGS.
RAIDERS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP
RAIDERS COME OUT ON TOP OF THE LIONS 25-6. THE GAME WHICH WAS SUPPOSE TO BE PLAYED IN LAKE CITY WAS PLAYED AT THE HOME OF THE RAIDERS. THE RAIDERS FORCED 7 TURNOVERS ON DEFENSE AND THE OFFENSE WAS LED BY JUNIOR BATTLES AND MARLAND WILLIAMS. BOTH TEAMS PLAYED HARD BUT ITS THE RAIDERS WHO TAKE HOME THE 2009 NIFL CHAMPIONSHIP. MARLAND WILLIAMS HURT HIS ARM EARLY ON AND STRUGGLED IN THE AIR BUT DID COMPLETE A FEW PASSES TO ESIX SNEED, JOE GAZDUN AND TO JUSTIN MAULDIN. BUT THE GROUND GAME WAS MORE THEN THE VISITING LIONS COULD HANDLE COMING OUT IN A DOUBLE TIGHT FORMATION WHICH WAS THROWN IN THE MIX OF FORMATIONS WITHIN THE LAST WEEK PROVED TO BE ENOUGH TO PAVE THE WAY FOR A GREAT GROUND GAME COMING FROM MARLAND WILLIAMS JUNIOR BATTLES AND A GREAT RUN FROM JARED TANNER. THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THE RAIDERS AND IT WAS A GREAT ONE. THE LIONS WERE PICKED BY THE LEAGUE TO DEFEAT THE RAIDERS 16-14. THE DEFENSE SUFFERED A HIT EARLY ON WHEN DEFENSIVE STANDOUT ROBERT STUDSTILL WENT DOWN TO A HURT ANKLE AND RAYMOND FRAZIER SUFFERING FROM AN INJURED HAND BUT THE DEFENSE WAS STILL TOUGH. STEVEN HALL PLAYED THE GAME OF HIS LIFE BREAKING UP 6 PASSES AND PICKING OFF 2. THE RAIDERS PROVED TO HAVE THE NUMBER 1 DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE PICKING OFF THE LEAGUES BEST QB 7 TIMES WITH PICKS COMEING FROM ALL OVER JUSTIN MAULDIN, CALVIN WILLIAMS, JUSTIN COCHRAN, STEVEN HALL WITH 2, PAT WEEKS, AND RAYMOND FRAZIER. RAYMOND ALSO CAME UP WITH A THUNDEROUS HIT CAUSEING A FUMBLE WHICH THE RAIDERS ALVIN HUBBERT ALSO RECOVERED. THIS WAS JUST THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR THIS SEASON. ITS BEEN ALOT OF FUN AND CANT WAIT TO GET BACK TO WORK.
