After losing in the state championship two years ago, Raines had a lot of holes on their team last season. They lost stars like Augie DeBiase and twins JaQuan and Joshua Baily, who took them to the state championship, where they lost to Miami Booker T. Washington.
Last season the Vikings went 7-4 under head coach Deran Wiley and lost in the second round of the playoffs to Bolles with a score of 60-20. Not only did they beat them in the playoffs last season, but they took them out in the regular season with a score of 24-23.
This year Raines hopes to get back to their dominance that they had two years ago. Some key games for the Vikings in 2017 is against Ribault on November 3rd and against Lincoln on October 26.
