Bayshore High School’s Male and Female Raider Teams qualified at the Area 5 Raider Competition on Nov. 1, earning the right to represent Manatee County at the Florida State Raider Competition held at Sandhill Scout Reservation in Brooksville, Florida.
The Male Team, led by Team Captain Cadet Abniel Martinez and Co-Captain Cadet Hugo Hernandez, ended the season with the year’s most prized title, state champions. The final results of the competition showed that they maintained strong consistency and outstanding performance throughout the event. The Female Team, led by Team Captain Cadet Dulce Mazariegos Lopez and Co-Captain Cadet Nahomy Ramirez, also concluded the season by earning the program’s highest honor, state champions.
