OUTLOOK

Third-year coach Takkinen said the Raiders will have good speed on offense and defense, but he’s counting on his defense to put Sonora in gear until the offense catches up. Experience is the key for the Raiders, whose defensive line returns intact. Only Grain is back as the offensive line rebuilds. However, the saving grace appears to be junior quarterback and all-league selection Kevin Rodriguez, who last season threw for 1,100 yards and 12 touchdowns. The Raiders will employ three receivers who played a lot toward the end of last season.
