I'm a Grandparent of one of the Portland Raider's team. It was a great honor to watch two talented, well matched teams do their best on Saturday afternoon. Everyone on either side could watch their team play their hearts out and feel nothing but pride! That game could have gone either way-there was a reason why these two teams have come so far. Fair play, good sportsmanship and respect for each other always wins-and these two teams showed it throughout this game. I don't think there was one loser in either team. God Bless.
