Raiders essentially a brand-new team
COLERAINE—If the Greenway High School volleyball team is going to have success during the 2024 season, the team as a whole has gel as a unit.

Warriors’ QB Caiden Schjenken started the Centennial celebration off with a BANG, with a deep pass down the line to TE Nick Bakkedahl on the first play of the game.

A slugfest would ensue from there between two blue-collar programs, and it was only fitting to find the Warriors on top of the Rangers 30-24. The celebration was big but short-lived as the 1-0 Warriors turn the page to South Ridge, who will arrive in Deer River next Friday, Sept. 6.
