Raiders head coach Ron Couch has made pride a key point of focus in his coaching strategy.
“You’ve got to have pride and that means fighting when you’re down,” he said. “When things don’t go your way, you keep going, no matter what you do.”
As the game’s final seconds ticked off the clock, that pride was evident in the expression on the faces of Raiders athletes and the fans on the home side of the gym for Thursday’s contest against rival Carroll County.
