Outlook: The Raiders return three seniors from last year's team that Coach Stanley will count on for leadership.  The senior class has a lot of experience that should help throughout the course of the season.  A talented Junior class could end up accounting for six starting positions on defense.  The sophomore class also returns three players, including southpaw Cy Stanley, who will likely be at the top of the rotation. The Raiders have a solid mix of experience and talent, and will look to improve upon last year's 16-11-1 mark.
