Credit goes to our players for executing all night. Also have to give a lot of credit to our staff especially @avery_parker20 for helping build the game plan and making adjustments throughout the game. Love our team and look forward to another challenge next week #RavenPride
@PhuketWord@Aku_700@dom_lucre They ruined his hay field...it wasn't even up the idea of using it as a parking lot ... it was to bail his hay for the winter
Had a great time competing at the @PNScout prospect camp at JCCC today! I ran a 6.65 60 yd dash, the highest overall, and found some barrels for a max EV of 91. Still working to improve my numbers as the offseason continues.
🏈 METRO PLAYER OF THE WEEK 🌮
After not one, not even two, but THREE interceptions against SM North (one of which he returned for a score), @onwfootball senior @TylerManzella18 is our reigning MPOW. The captain has helped put the Ravens (5-1) into pole position for 6A East #1.
I had a great Summer of 2025 season with my @BTLHornets 2026 team
Here are some of my highlights
I am ready to get back on the field for the Fall season
