Raiders seek end to three-game skid against tough Hornets
By MICHAEL ALPERT / www.ajc.com / Thursday, October 16, 2008
Alpharetta’s football team would like to beat Roswell on Friday for the first time in three tries.
Actually, just scoring on the Hornets might be a triumph, considering the Raiders lost 45-0 and 23-0 the last two seasons.
“Those last two had nothing to do with this game here,” said Roswell coach Leo Barker, cautioning that the Raiders have improved and his Hornets are rebuilding. “Having shut them out the last two times really never crossed our minds this season.”
The teams enter Roswell’s homecoming game from different directions, with Roswell (4-2, 4-1) on a two-game winning streak and Alpharetta (3-3, 2-3) on a three-game skid. But Raiders coach Bill Waters believes anything can happen at the midway point of the season, and three of the region’s four playoff berths behind unbeaten Walton (6-0, 5-0) remain up for grabs.
“Everyone still has a shot,” Waters said.
