This past Saturday, the Raiders played Immaculata High School for their first home football game at Scotch Plains Fanwood High School. After a tough fight, the Raiders fell to the Spartans 40-30.
The Raiders determination to win was evident after senior captain and running back Alex Osisilo scored the first touchdown for SPF three minutes into the first quarter of the game.
Osisilo ended up scoring one touchdown and a two point conversion for the Raiders.
Senior captain and quarterback Anthony Porter scored two touchdowns, one during the second quarter and the other during the last quarter of the game.
Junior running back Jake Hahn scored a touchdown during the third quarter.
Senior Chris Sekiya scored the final points for SPF during the fourth quarter with a two point conversion.
Despite the loss, the Raiders still had a very nice senior day. All of the seniors in the marching band, cheerleading squad, and football team received praise from fellow teammates, family members and the crowd for their hard work and dedication at SPFHS over the past four years.
