Returning starters prep Raiders for optimistic season

As the son of a lifelong coach and with over 30 years of my own coaching and teaching experience, I can confidently say that we have great kids at Riverwood. I've genuinely enjoyed getting to know them during my time with the football program. This season, we have 15 returning starters who will form the backbone of our team.

Additionally, we have 31 players who gained significant playing experience last year, and we look forward to helping them continue to develop.

Our Junior Raider program is regaining momentum in our community after a pause during the COVID-19 pandemic and a restart in August 2022. We are also excited about our new partnership with NYO this season. Together, we aim to build the best structure to provide our families in the Riverwood cluster with opportunities to start connecting with Riverwood Football in middle school.

We've had a productive offseason, beginning in January with workouts in the weight room and continuing through spring practices and team camps. However, we recognize that this preparation needs to translate into performance on Friday nights. We are cautiously optimistic about where our program is and what we can do moving forward. I want to thank everyone for supporting Riverwood, and we’ll see you on Friday nights!
