Playoff quarterfinals Team of the Week: Riverdale Raiders

Quarterback Avaun Rucker caught fire late in the season, helping the Raiders win their last six games, including playoff wins over Cedar Shoals and NW Whitfield. But, it’s the Raiders’ defense that’s made the them special in 2020. They’ve held opponents scoreless on five occasions. Longtime Hackney assistant Max Wiltz leads that potent defense against a very tough opponent, the 4th-ranked Benedictine Cadets (8-2) on the road in Savannah on Friday night.
