Football 2008: Southern Vance
Southern Vance has experienced a tremendous amount of success over the last few years, and all indications are that it will continue in 2008. The Raiders have won 26 games over the past two years, but 25 of 37 varsity players graduate this spring. Experience will be the big question mark for Southern Vance this fall, but with an undefeated junior varsity team last season, they should have something to build on.
