Last Friday, Raymond's game was all tied up 0-0 at the half, but luckily for them it didn't stay that way. They came out on top against Richland by a score of 20-7.
Keveonta White and Amodra Moffett were among the main playmakers for Raymond as the former rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries and the latter rushed for 186 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry.
