Navarre High School Raiders

Strap on our pads
Lace up our cleats
Every spring and fall
Always ready to lay a hit, always ready to ball
Size doesn't matter in this game no matter how big or small.

Our team is surely stacked
And we all have love for the game
Whether it be making a block or throwing a perfect pass
We all work hard for each other’s benefit and giant personal gain
"Run 12 right" yells coach as Carter rushes through the lane
“Pull through hole and when you arrive bring the pain"

To get where we wanna go it takes hard work
Going to state is the dream
All those two-a-days in august play a huge role
You gotta be tough, you gotta be mean
Out here there will always be a shoulder on which you can lean
Oh man gotta love the blood, sweat, and Bengay cream.

Oh ya we are rough and tough
All of us ready to fight
Always have each other’s backs
Especially every Friday night
We practice and practice just to get it right
Hoping we'll get the "W" under the big stadium lights!

Trying to be perfect
It's just what we do
Always nice and neat
From our tape jobs to our shoes
Yeah we are winners never wanting to lose
Even if you ask us we will simply refuse!

Yet here it is November
And all our games are done
We gave it all we had
But state was just not won
The season was short but was a lot of fun
Running that simple spread offense outta the shotgun!
