The Raiders have two other injured players who will not see action Friday, according to head coach Mark Lefebvre on Monday. Seth Biberstine and Jagger Love are still under doctors’ evaluation and have not been cleared to resume action.

Landrum likely
to play Friday
Leading senior wide receiver Nick Landrum did not see action Friday night in the Bluffton Tigers’ 14-12 loss to Adams Central Friday night at Monroe.
On Monday Bluffton head coach Casey Kolkman stated that Landrum is “looking like he will be back Friday against Leo, but that is 50/50.” Kolkman added that he “should be full strength for sectional.”
