The West Rusk Raiders football team defeated the Joaquin Rams 68-0, clinching a playoff spot. The Raiders have outscored opponents 233-28 during district play this season with big wins over Union Grove, Frankston, Winona, and Joaquin. Their next game is against rival Arp, who has defeated West Rusk for the past 12 years. A win would give the Raiders the district championship and a chance to prove the saying "history repeats itself" wrong. With an undefeated season so far, the Raiders have high aspirations of not just winning district but making a run at the school's first ever state championship.
