OUTLOOK
The 2023 Raiders are fully loaded on the hill with guys in the 90's. Even though the lineup is stacked with 6-foot plus guys, their production hasn't seen its potential yet. However, they bring a ton of experience back to the team this year with 10 seniors and returning 7 starters. The Raiders are lacking in some key positions but look forward to one of the toughest schedules in Hillsborough County and the state. The lineup has to be more versatile to make it back to the dance for the first time since 2019.
