In the long and storied history of the Moore County Raiders, once one of top 1A powers in the entire state, the Cornersville Bulldogs rarely made a blip on the radar of competitive rivalries. But with third-year head coach Gerard Randolph, a talented group of young assistant coaches, and a deep veteran ball club, the Bulldogs were able to accomplish something Cornersville had not done in anyone's recent memory.
