JACKSONVILLE – Seems it was just a few months ago both Raines and Mandarin were celebrating state football titles, now four months later both start the process of repeating.
With 18 starters gone, the Mustangs will have to look for a combination of returning players and new players emerging to fill their holes.
After going back-to-back, Raines begins the daunting task of trying to three-peat, something only two other area teams have ever done.
Teams open spring practice April 22 and will conclude 20 days of practice with a spring game or intersquad game.
Here is a compiled list of area spring games involving area teams.
