The Riverwood Raiders enter year three of the Shawn Cahill-era, coming off of a 1-9 season in 2024. The Raiders look to vanquish their two-year playoff drought as they have yet to see the postseason since 2022. They haven’t had a playoff victory since the 2019 season under Robert Edwards where they went 11-1, losing to Dutchtown in the second round. Though they only had one victory on the schedule last season, the Raiders look to rebound as they have key playmakers returning for the 2025 season. Wideout Zach Stair was one of the bright spots for the Raiders offense in 2024. He averaged about 92 receiving yards per game on 44 receptions, totaling 922 yards and 10 touchdowns in his junior season. The rising-senior wide receiver was named to the Georgia High School Football Daily Region 6-5A All-Region first team for his efforts on the field.

Riverwood also returns some talent on defense for this upcoming season as three Raiders made the Georgia High School Football Daily Region 6-5A All-Region second team defense a season ago. Junior defensive lineman Jake Kaplan and linebacker Lawrence Levine, along with senior defensive back Levi Perlstein, earned postseason honors for their terrific play a season ago. Levine and Perlstein tied for the most tackles on the team with 77 each while Kaplan led the team with six tackles for loss, leading the Raiders front seven. Cahill and the Raiders look to get back on track for the 2025 season.
