The third annual Meet the Raiders will showcase the fall sports teams, Wednesday, Aug. 26. Head coaches and team members from football, volleyball, cross country, tennis and swimming will speak to the crowd about the upcoming year, their respective teams and sports.

“I want to represent my team in the best way that I can,” senior football player Marquis Simmons said. “I want to represent them being as energetic as I can and always having a smile on my face.”

The band, cheerleaders and dance teams will also perform at the free event.  In addition, Raider gear, and food and drinks will be available before and during the event. The yearbook staff will also open up sales for the 2016 Replay with their back to school special of $55.

“Meet the Raiders is our first opportunity to perform as a team so I know were all super excited to get out there and enjoy the moment together,” senior Royal Krysta Nero said.

Meet the Raiders begins at 6 p.m. and moves to a new location this year, in the gym.
