Savannah Christian Raiders 2022 Preview

Mascot: Raiders

Coach: Baker Woodward

City: Savannah, GA

Classification: 3A Region 3

2021 Season: 5-6, 1st Round

Key Players Lost from 2021 Team:

George Futch, Peyton Cromwell, and Carter Allen

Key Players Returning from 2021 Team:

Seniors - Matthew Gunn, Jayden Hester, Paulus Zittrauer, Jep Hudspeth, Jackson Mercer, Cole Burnsed, Austin Saylor, Akeem Lane
Juniors - Tyler Penrose, David Bucey, Tyson Gross, Noah Lewis, Jamari McIvory, Ethan Byrd
Sophomores - Zo Smalls, Logan Brooking, Jaden Miles, Kenry Wall, Luke Gunn, Elijah Griffin

New Players to Watch:

There are really no new players on our team but Zo Smalls is now our starting running back. Zo has been working really hard in weight room. He is a really good back with speed, quickness, and power. David Bucey has had a tremendous off season as well and will contribute not only on Defense but now on the offensive side of the ball.

Keys to Success:
We have to establish a run game and when it comes time to throw the ball we have a good play at the QB position. If we can hold on the football, establish the run game, and tackle on defense I feel we will have an extremely successful season.

Season Outlook
We have a very competitive schedule filled with all local teams besides Battery Creek and Hilton Head Christian. We will be competing in Region 3 AAA against schools that are larger besides our usual rivalry games between Calvary Day School and Savannah Country Day. I feel very confident in our Raiders being very competitive in this larger region.
