The coveted “Rock” trophy that both the Raiders and Wovlerines play for sits eagerly awaiting for the winner to hoist it high. Mount Ayr will be playing to return the Rock back to Mount Ayr this season.

The Raiders have held on to ‘The Rock’ since its inception, that is until last year, when the Nodaway Valley Wolverines snatched the trophy honoring longtime coaches for Mount Ayr and Greenfield/Nodaway Valley Dave Still and Bob Daut.
The Wolverines stunned the Raiders last season with a 20-16 loss.
The Raiders hold a 13-2 All-Time record over the Wolverines going back to 2006, with the Wolverines securing wins last season and then back in 2010, by a score of 38-35.
Last season, the Raiders fought their way to a District 7 title, while finishing the year with a record of 7-3 before falling to Logan-Magnolia in the second round of playoffs.
The Wolverines finished the season 4-5, fourth in their district.
