The neighboring county rivalry between the Carroll County Panthers and the Trimble County Raiders took on extra meaning for both teams Thursday night.
Of the hitters for the Panthers in the game, Zack Clifford, Landry Kelton, Logan Rodgers and Luke Staley had previously donned the blue-and-gold trimmed uniforms for the Raiders last season. David Duncan and Chris Perkinson were also former Raiders in the 2016 season.
And it was indeed those former Raiders that came up with the large plays when it counted Thursday, leading Carroll to a runaway 13-0 victory.
