🐪📚 **HAPPY HUMP DAY, RAIDERS!** ❤️🖤

What better way to get over that midweek hump than with some **Back to School Raider cuteness?!** ✏️🍎

Yes, we know Unit 10 started a *little* while ago. 😂 But our Raiders are ALL over — different schools, districts, and grade levels — so we wanted to give everyone a chance to get those first-day pictures in before we posted!

Now that everyone is back in the swing of things, we want to wish ALL of our Raiders an amazing 2026–2027 school year! ❤️🖤

Work hard. Be kind. Be a good teammate. And whether you're in the classroom, on the football field, or cheering from the sidelines, always represent those **Raider colors** proudly!

📸 Now enjoy some of our Raiders showing off their Back to School smiles!

**Happy Hump Day, Raider Nation!** 🐪❤️🖤

Our Raider Family was hit this past weekend with unexpected news. There are no words to express how we feel. This is an attempt to give respect and honor where it is due.

🏈 In Loving Memory of Eric Rives 🏈

For nearly four decades, Eric Rives has been a part of the Raiders family.

We believe Eric began coaching around 1988, and from then on, countless young athletes had the opportunity to learn from him. He taught kids more than football. He taught them how to work hard, how to get back up after being knocked down, how to be part of a team, and how to keep moving forward.

When someone has been around the Raiders for this many years, they become part of the history of our organization. Players grow up, become parents, and bring their own children back — and Eric was still there, pouring into another generation.

Eric spent years teaching kids how to tackle, how to run, and how to find that end zone. Now, after tackling everything life put in front of him, Coach Eric has run his final touchdown and gained his wings. 🪽🏈

The field will look a little different without him, but the lessons he taught, the kids he coached, and the lives he touched will carry his legacy forward.

Once a Raider, always a Raider.

Rest easy, Coach Eric. Your impact lives on. 🖤

“9u at Belleville Little Devils. 9u continues to show up and show out every single week. We may not have gotten the win with points, but with that amount of dedication, grit, determination, and strength displayed today, we walked off the field winners! These kids get tougher and tougher every week!! As coach Adam would say “STRONGEST DEFENSIVE IN THE LEAGUE!” We even received compliments from the home team players asking “what did you guys do to make them so good” 👏🏼🥹”
