Ahead of the Raiders’ 49-28 win over Jack Britt High School, the team’s 23-player homecoming court was recognized.
While the players didn’t walk during the ceremony, their homecoming escorts were introduced by Senior Senate members Nicholas Powell and Haras Lockhart.
Joined by family members, the 23 female members of the court walked down the 50-yard line while biographies of each couple were read.
