This past Saturday, November 4th, the Sophomores Fillmore Raiders defeated Calabasas Gold claiming the D2 Championship game. Above is the team celebrating after their win.

Congratulations to our Sophomore Fillmore Raiders team for winning the D2 championship against Calabasas Gold. This game is what every little boy dreams of when they take the field and became an instant classic for Raiders’ history.
It was a massive back and forth battle that was hard fought the entire time. Raiders took a few huge injuries early in the game that slowed their offense a bit. But once those players worked through their injuries, it was game on. The game ended in the 4th quarter tied 8-8.

Calabasas started with the ball going into overtime with a chance to win it. Raiders defense did NOT let that happen and came up with hard fought stops. Raiders took possession of the ball and had a penalty that pushed them back further. Every down, they ran hard for a positive gain. It was 4th and Goal on the 3-yard line. Game was tied 8-8 in overtime. Do or die and they took it in for a TOUCHDOWN!

Players shouted. Coaches celebrated. It was a sight to behold for a team that only won 1 game last year. This turnaround from last season to winning it in overtime was the kind of story that movies are made of. So once again, congratulations to our Fillmore Raiders!
