The Trimble County High School football team traveled to Eminence Friday night for their season opener against the Warriors. Under the guidance of new Head Coach Mike Isley and company, the Raiders look to turn around the program and put the past behind them.

In the game against the Warriors, the Raiders’ offense was able to move the ball down the field, but a combination of turnovers and penalties prevented them from crossing the goal line.
