The Plant City Raiders’ 2014 season was, for lack of a better word, weird. If someone with no knowledge of the season were to ask a Raiders fan how it went, that person would probably hear about the end result. Plant City went 3-1 in the district and rode a late-season win streak into the […]

It felt great to go back to football last week, even if it was just a preseason game. I went to Plant City High to watch the Raiders take on the Riverview Sharks, and things certainly went well for the home team. The scoreless second half may not have been as exciting as the first, […]

Longtime Plant City Raiders fans will remember 1998, when the football team went undefeated throughout the regular season under head coach Todd Long.

Many of you Plant City High students, parents and alumni are probably eager to see how the school’s athletic programs fare in the 2015-16 school year, as the recent shuffling of personnel has impacted the Raiders family at its core. I see no reason for anyone to be anything but optimistic right now. Much has […]
