🏴‍☠️ FINAL: RAIDERS 32, EAGLES 8 🏴‍☠️

The Raiders looked sharp in their final scrimmage! The offense found its rhythm behind the big boys in the trenches, creating opportunities downfield, while the defense showed tremendous improvement from the previous week.

After facing three different teams and a variety of offensive and defensive looks over the past two weeks, the coaching staff will now fine-tune this team for opening night!

Next up: Scott County comes to Norm Parsons Field for the UCB Border Bowl on Friday, August 21! ⚔️🏈
