RAIDER NATION on the road for the first time in 2012
The Raider Nation would go on the road in week two to take on a border rival, Bleckley County. This game was touted as a measuring stick game by many, as the Royals had a talented team and would be at home playing the young Raider team just lost an exhausting overtime game the week before. After the first offensive play by Bleckley county it looked like those many people talking might be right. The Royals quarterback took a naked bootleg 63 yards for a touchdown for a early lead and what could have been an early knock out blow for the RAIDER NATION. The actual reaction to that play though, would be much different than that of past Raiders teams. The Raider defense wouldn't allow the Royals another 40 yards of offense for the rest of the game. The Raiders would overcome missing players and injury to work thier way into their second overtime game of the season. That's where the specials teams would show some improvement and turn out to be the difference on the scoreboard. Freshman kicker Bill Leroy gave the RAIDERS thier first win of the season on a 22 yard FG in overtime.
