92 games ago – Navarre 21, Choctaw 17 (2012)
 
After four weeks on the road, the Raiders (5-1, 2-0) returned home to the comfy confines of Bennett C. Russell Stadium. This game was nip and tuck the whole way through, but somehow they managed to pull out a victory against their District foe. This was their fourth straight win.
 
After moving Andrew Rieves from LB to QB, the senior was finally starting to get his legs underneath himself and he had a lot of  help in the backfield from senior Jay Warren, who was leading the ground attack. Warren would end up with the second most rushing yards in a season in Raider history with 1,832 and he also produced 20 touchdowns.
