Northeast Raiders ready to begin playoff run against Thomson

As players for the Northeast Raiders were introduced on Senior Night last week, many Northeast seniors mentioned that their favorite moment was playing in front of a packed crowd of fans from the Eastside at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Now the Raiders want to return to that stadium. That journey begins this week as the GHSA state tournament gets underway, with No. 11 Northeast set to open the playoffs at home vs. No. 22 Thomson on Friday at 7:30 p.m. The Northeast Raiders finished the season 8-2 and 6-1 in the region. The Raiders would’ve liked to win the region championship for the second consecutive year and continue their initial 11-game home winning streak, but they placed second in the region championship after a 28-24 loss to the Callaway Cavaliers at home Friday. It was a sour note to end the season on, but head coach Jeremy Wiggins hopes it will motivate the Raiders. “I hope Monday they’ll come ready to play,” said Wiggins. “When I was a junior and senior at (Appalachian) State, we lost a couple of games to Furman that we shouldn’t have, and it kind of sparked us going into the playoffs … so hopefully they’ll show growth
