Congrats to the SM South Raiders Football Team on Friday night.
The Raiders, in their 50th Football season won their 250th game in school history, and Head Coach Brett Oberzan, earning his first win against the SM Northwest Cougars.
Last spring, Brett Oberzan was named the 7th Head Coach in Raiders Football history succeeding (SM West Assistant Coach) Ryan Lonergan.
Brett Oberzan is the only SMSD #5 Football Coach within the history of the SMSD #512 to ever have his first win land on an anniversary number, as well as an anniversary school year on the same calendar season. Prior to his hiring in the spring, the forty-four current or former Head Coaches before him (of all five High School’s) have never accomplished such a feat in their first official win.
