Impact Player for East Peoria:
Senior RB/DB Gabe Ziegler-Harris (5-foot-11, 180 pounds) is a two way starter and a mainstay for the Raiders this coming fall. Ziegler, who received all conference honors last season will be asked to provide production in all three phases along with being a leader for East Peoria on and off the field.
EDGY's Quick Take on the East Peoria Raiders:
The Raiders (0-9) are looking to win it's first game this fall since the 208 season, a Week 4 win over Canton 19-6. That's a 25 straight losing streak and the Raiders will continue to look towards second year head coach Dustin Jefferson to lead the program. Jefferson, who prepped at Kankakee and who also played college football at Illinois is a young energetic head coach who is also the son of former longtime standout coach Ira Jefferson. Lo0ok for Jefferson to work hard and get the Raiders program above water level starting this fall.
