The results are in and they have nothing to do with politics. The vote we’re talking about here is the vote for Team of the Week on Fox 5 Atlanta’s High 5 Sports segment. And the winner is…the Habersham Central Raiders!
The Raiders were named TOW today based on an online poll where they grabbed 9,871 votes. The Raiders’ closest contender in the 5-team poll was the Tucker Tigers who claimed 2,883 votes.
MOB MOM leader and team mother, Tamora Black, says Fox 5 will be at the Habersham Central High School gymnasium tomorrow for a huge pep rally starting at 8am. That’s when the news station will present the High 5 Team of the Week trophy to the football team. The presentation and rally will be broadcast live throughout the morning on Fox 5’s Good Day Atlanta.
HCHS Athletic Director Geep Cunningham says the pep rally will last until about 9:30am. He says winning the coveted High 5 Hand Trophy speaks volumes about the HCHS football team and Raider family:
Being named Fox 5 Team of the Week is a true testament to our Raider team. They have all worked extremely hard and overcome many obstacles in their path this season. It is a fitting reward and honor for all of these “Raiders” as we bring this 2014 season to an end. Congratulations and Go Raiders!!! ~ HCHS Athletic Director Geep Cunningham
The HCHS Raiders soared in the TOW poll as word got out the team had been nominated. They were nominated for their amazing win Friday night, Oct. 31, against the North Forsyth Raiders. Although the point spread was impressive, 32-7, the most impressive thing about Friday’s game was that the Raiders won; it was the team’s first win in two years. Even more impressive than that is the team spirit and tenacity that carried the Raiders through 107 weeks without a win.
If you want to watch the Raider celebration, be sure to tune in to Fox 5’s Good Day Atlanta tomorrow morning beginning at 8:10am.
