RAIDERS SWEEP JENKINS KY

Not to slight the Raiders,but Mack? C'Mon-Jenkins is god-awful. Try scheduling some actual non-distric competition for a change. I remember JJK playing Jenkins in a DH at Wise years ago and beating them something like 27-2 both games. Mack is still padding those wins I guess. Playing RC,SP and Jenkins isn't going to get you ready for JJK. You know this as well wyatt (have heard a few Norton fans lament the non-distric scheduling over the last lttle bit).

How is that not a slight to the Raiders? You just called out their "weak" schedule? Which must mean you may think their wins are meaningless?

They (the players) can't help who they are playing=not a slight to their players. Compare their wins to JJK's though. The Raiders haven't even been tested yet.

I agree with that, Ive heard jenkins is awful and we need some tough opponents to test us out a bit, guess thats macks fault...I guess we'll have to wait till a little later in the season to see how good they really are...plenty of talent on the team, just have to see if its as good as others

And I'm not saying that the Raiders should be at Myrtle Beach. They could however do better with scheduling. JJK's non-distric opponents prior to the SC trip, Sullivan North and THS would steamroll Jenkins,RC,and SP as well.

I compleely agree with you indian dad.....they really need to play some good teams to get better and to really see where they are are and how theyd match up with the teams around here

In their defense you often have to schedule those teams in advance, or know someone. Granted Shupe prob could get game with most of those teams, the name Kelly lends it more able to get those game, Burton isnt know for its baseball program. Playing in those big tournys also cost a lot of money, money in which Im sure Raider Atheletics would rather spend in the fall.
