The week started with a hard fought victory over South Paulding by a score of 4-1. On Wednesday they traveled to Hiram and defeated the Hornets 10-0. To cap the week off on Friday they faced their fiercest rival at the boneyard of East Paulding. As expected it was a tight game and the Raiders brought their best but in the end the Patriots prevailed 3-1.
