Senior Night for Boys' Soccer was Thursday 9/17/2020. We played against Central MN Christian and won 3-0. Central's Brady Wachholz is one of nine seniors on the team. His coach said "Brady is a quiet leader as he lets his performance speak louder than his words". Brady scored our first goal and was instrumental in creating opportunities for the other two goals. Way to go Brady!! #RAIDERPRIDE
