It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Raines had no problem doing just that on Friday. They claimed a resounding 43-6 win over the Baker County Wildcats. The result was nothing new for the Vikings, who have now won nine matchups by 34 points or more so far this season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Raines to victory, but perhaps none more so than Tadarius Washington, who rushed for 80 yards and one TD on only six carries. The team also got some help courtesy of Tisean Haynes, who rushed for 68 yards and one score on only six carries.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Raines' defense and their three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Travis Williams, Makhel Smith-York, and Tony Williams, who each picked up one sack apiece. Another thorn in Baker County's side was Travis, who picked up a sack, forced one fumble, and made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Special teams also played a big role in the game for Raines, adding 11 points to the final score. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Shareef Jackson, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.
