Best Part About the Raiders: The fact that we are all like
brothers and sisters and can say whatever to each other, and knowing
that we’re a family forever!
Tip for the Younger Raiders: Enjoy everything while it
lasts! And take it from an expert on saying whatever comes to
mind….don’t! Keep your mouth shut to the coaches and even when you
think you’re right, don’t talk back to them! You’re not going to get
very far without them.
