 2023 Preview 


       Randolph completed the 2022 season with a 10-3 record. With their 6-1 region record and a second place finish in Class 4A region eight, the Raiders earned a spot in the playoffs in 2022. Randolph lost in the quarter-finals of the playoffs last season to a good Cherokee County team by a score of 35-21.

       No team at Randolph ever won more games in a season than the ten victories last year. The 556 points scored by the Raiders last year were a team record in a single season.

       The high-scoring Randolph offense ranked 14th in the AHSAA. They averaged 42.8 points a game.

       Since 2010, Randolph has gone a combined 68-72. Their 48.6% winning percentage ranks 33rd in Class 4A over the past thirteen seasons.

       Over the past 16 seasons, Randolph has managed to compile a record of 80-84. Their 49.0% winning percentage ranks 34th in Class 4A and 205th in the AHSAA.




       The Raiders are led by head coach David Lloyd who is entering his fourth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 25-11 over the past three seasons at Randolph. Under his direction the Raiders have qualified for the playoffs a total of three times. They have not won a region crown with Coach Lloyd. Over the course of his career, Coach Lloyd's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of five times .

       The Raiders should be in contention for a playoff spot in region eight this season. Hosting a first round playoff game on their home turf would be an advantage.

      The defense will be led by Daniel Martin this season after collecting 101 total tackles last season.

       The Raiders open the 2023 season at home against non-region opponent West Morgan on Friday, August 25 at SportsMed Field. Last year the West Morgan Rebels finished with an overall record of 10-2 and in second place in Class 4A region seven.

       Randolph and West Morgan have met a total of 5 times on the football field. The Raiders have a 2-3-0 record against the Rebels. They last met in 2022 with West Morgan winning by a score of 41-21.

       Randolph lost 4A All-State  quarterback Andrew Hunter to graduation. He was named to the first team last season. Also graduating were teammates receiver Grayson Davenport and athlete Nic Strong.
