Lowell Red Raiders enjoy standout football season
LOWELL, Mass. (BVM) — Heading into the unfamiliar season, the Lowell Red Raiders were excited to even have a season to play. Now with the season coming to a close, the Red Raiders have something else to be excited for.
Coming off five straight losing seasons, Lowell enjoyed one of its best seasons in 2021 capping off a unique spring experience. After losing their first two games of the year, the Red Raiders rebounded by winning five straight to end their season. It was the first time since 2014 that the team finished with a record above .500. First-year coach Rob Pike came in with a track record of turning around football programs and the Lowell head coach wouldn’t disappoint in his opening season.
