The Lady Raider lifters defeated Fort Walton Beach 80 to 7 at home on Nov. 24. After two overwhelming victories, it is obvious from where the team’s competition will come; it will come from teammates. The Raiders are loaded with talent in each weight class. Each team can only have two lifters competing in each weight class for the district championship and the state qualifying meet. Currently, some weight divisions have three or four lifters that have combined totals that are 10 pounds or less apart. The competitors are all pushing each other.
In their last game before the Thanksgiving break, the Raiders shutout the Fort Walton Vikings 6 – 0 at NYSA on Nov. 19. The Raiders do not have another scheduled game until Dec. 2.
The Lady Raiders traveled to Niceville on Nov. 19 and after 80 minutes of play, the score remained at 0 – 0. “We had better opportunities in the game,” Coach Rob Simon said. “We just could not make the last pass that would have resulted in scores.”
