Today I had the privilege of watching our Raider Baseball Team win the State 2C Championship! 🏆⚾ Huge congratulations to the entire team—what an incredible accomplishment.

Extra proud of my basketball guys: Micah Wilson, Owen Chavis, Kaden Kesler, and Harrison Ramsey. Love seeing your hard work and talent shine across multiple sports.

Also great to see Max Nitti in attendance, cheering his friends on—true team spirit! Way to represent!

Coach Kelso was challenged by his former player Max Nitti to participate in the USC Speak Your Mind Ice Bucket Challenge. We know the Nitti brothers enjoyed this activity!

Proud Coach Moment!
We’ve got not one, but two of our basketball players signing to continue their journeys at the collegiate level!
Max Nitti, a standout on the court and true competitor, will be signing to play football at Hampden-Sydney College.

Josiah Perry, a dedicated leader and the kind of teammate every coach hopes for, will be signing with Christopher Newport University.

These men’s work ethic, heart, and commitment to the team have made a lasting impact.

Join us this Wednesday in the cafeteria as we celebrate both of these young men. Let’s pack the room and show them the same support and energy they’ve given to Raider Basketball!

Tonight, the season came to an end as the Raiders were defeated by Nelson, 39-48. “Tough losses like this sting, but they also remind us of the hard work, growth, and resilience we've built along the way. Every challenge we face makes us stronger.” 💪 To the seniors on the team – your leadership, passion, and dedication have been invaluable. Thank you for setting the standard and giving everything to this program. Your legacy will never be forgotten. 🙏🏆
