On Wednesday, the Raiders coasted to a shutout win 6-0 against Euclid, and on Thursday they beat Eastlake North 9-1 . They will look to continue their good run this week as they play Medina on Wednesday at home.

Football

The varsity football team got the job done in two overtimes against Garfield Heights in the Friday twilight game. With Shaker down 10-7, Carson Fowler hit a clutch field goal to send the game to overtime tied at ten. After a scoreless first overtime, senior Victor Ford broke the tie with his second touchdown of the game, giving the Raiders the win. After getting out to a 1-0 start, the Raiders’ next opponent is Benedictine this Friday on the road.
