The Habersham Central Raiders claimed their first win of the season Friday in their last home game of the year. The Raiders beat the Johns Creek Gladiators 21-6. It’s the Raiders’ first win under first year head coach Benji Harrison and their second win in three years.
Fans poured onto John Larry Black Field at Raider Stadium for a long awaited post-game celebration.
October seems to smile on the Raiders. The team’s last win came on October 31, 2014 when they blew past the Raiders of North Forsyth, 32-7. The two region rivals face off again next Friday, October 30th in Cumming.
