Raiders Fall to Warner Robins

played from behind for the entire game Friday against Warner Robins, but had two opportunities to take the lead late in the second half, according to the Macon Telegraph. Both times the Warner Robins defense denied the Raiders.

East Paulding wide receiver Andrej Suttles caught nine passes for 121 yards, but the Raider running game never got up to full speed, gaining just 103 yards all night.

Turnovers were costly to the East Paulding comeback attempt as well. A late interception stopped a potential momentum-changing drive and the Raiders could never escape the mistakes that plagued them in the third round of the GHSA 4A State Football Championships.

East Paulding finished the season at 11-2 and was ranked in the top 10 in the state for most of the season. The Raiders were special on defense this year, holding nine opponents to under 10 points in their 13 games.
