Editor’s note: This is the fifth in a series of profiles on the school’s opponent in next year’s new UIL district, 15-5A. 

Enrollment: 1,848

Mascot: Raiders

School Colors: Blue, white, and silver

Distance from Lovejoy: 12 miles (24 minutes) 3000 Wylie East Dr. Wylie, Texas 75098

Year opened: 2007

Raiders’ 2015-16 results (according to SportsDayHS):

Football: 10-2

Volleyball: 14-14

Basketball: 12-14

Girls Basketball: 16-13

Soccer: 13-11

Girls Soccer: 18-2

Baseball: 23-4

Softball: 16-14

Notable Alumni: None

Athletes to watch: Eno Benjamin, Running Back (Class of 2017)

Benjamin is coming off a huge year on the ground. The Iowa Hawkeyes commit rushed for 2,652 yards and 41 touchdowns, giving fits to every defense he faced. Don’t expect the high-powered Raider offense to slow down this year with Benjamin in the backfield for his senior year.
Analysis: With the Raiders being the only school from our previous 10-5A district that has made its way into the new district, don’t expect much to change in regards to Leopard versus Raider matchups. Over the past two years we have seen a number of very competitive battles between the Leopards and the Raiders, so expect that to continue in the years to come.
