Thanks to Hurricane Laura who is currently swirling in the Gulf, this week’s middle school and high school schedules have changed. The MCMS Raider will not play this week. Their Thursday night game against Huntland has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for a later date. Instead, the MCHS Raiders will take on Community that night. The gates will open at 5:30 p.m. Senior Night festivities will happen at 6 p.m. and the Raiders will kick off against the Vikings at 7 p.m.

Raiders blank Cascade

Raiders snagged their first win under new Head Coach Kris White last Friday night earning a 15-0 shut out win against Cascade.

Ryder Morey, Hayden Carter, Cashion, Zac Carawan, and Joseph Trice contribute four tackles each; Will Harder, two tackles, and Noah Whitaker, Scruggs, and Tanner Parks got a tackle each.

Game two against Community

Cornersville handled Community in Unionville 36-6 last Friday. Sloppy play be the Viking combined with dogged third down and fourth down conversions by the Bulldogs found Community in a field position hole for most of the night. The Raiders will want to keep an eye on Viking QB Dallas Grooms and his favorite target McCade Miller on Thursday.
