#Preview: Raider Duals #2

Raider Duals #2

When & where: Wednesday at Orange Park.
Teams in the field: In addition to the host Raiders, Beachside, Columbia, FSDB, Mandarin and Pedro Menendez are in the field.
Synopsis: The event could come down to which team is consistently able to bring the fullest lineups; that was the case in the first Raider Duals event a month ago. Based on that, I would look for Beachside and Pedro Menendez to fare best in terms of team wins and losses. Beachside was a solid 3rd at district duals last week and had there been an opportunity could have contested for true 2nd in 1A-District 4. The Falcons were 1-1 at 2A-District 4 duals, falling to Clay in the quarters, but in this field could fare better.
