The Raider teams had a powerful and action-packed weekend, filled with both intense competition and heartfelt remembrance. On Saturday, they faced off against 20 other teams at the Adairsville Rumble, battling both tough opponents and unpredictable weather. Unfortunately, the event was cut short due to inclement conditions, and the Cadets were only able to complete 3 out of the 5 scheduled events. At the time of the stoppage, the Maroon Team stood in 4th place and the White Team in 7th among the teams that had finished the same challenges.
A huge thank-you goes out to the incredible group of Raider families who braved the rain to support the teams—setting up and tearing down the tent area and cheering from the sidelines. Your dedication and spirit mean the world to these athletes.
On Sunday, the Raiders participated in a deeply moving event: the 3rd Annual Savannah Professional Firefighters 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at the Enmarket Arena. Each Raider wore a badge honoring a fallen first responder who gave their life during the collapse of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. They climbed 110 flights of stairs—2,200 steps in total—to symbolize the height of the towers, in a powerful tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
It was truly an honor for our Raiders to take part in this Memorial. Their participation reflects the strength, unity, and brotherhood that define both the Raider program and the spirit of BC.
