Bowling Green, KY – The Warren East Raiders are gearing up for the 2025 football season with a significant shift in leadership as they aim to surprise their opponents. Head coach Tanner Hall, now entering his third season, has set high expectations for the team’s performance, stating that they have made notable improvements over the offseason. Coach Hall has a two-year record of 12-11 and a 5-6 record against district opponents, and he is optimistic that the Raiders will excel this year, especially with the integration of new talent and a focus on teamwork.
This season, the Raiders will be adjusting to the loss of standout player Dane Parsley, who graduated after a multifaceted high school career. To fill the quarterback position, the team has recruited sophomore Xavier Isable from Bowling Green High School. Isable expresses confidence in his new role and emphasizes that success largely depends on offseason preparation and teamwork. Coach Hall has noted Isable’s rapid understanding of the offensive playbook and describes him as a pro-style quarterback, which is crucial for the team’s strategy moving forward.
Leadership is a central theme for the Raiders this season, with Isable embodying these traits by being the first to arrive in the weight room and taking command on the field during practices. His commitment to leading by example is expected to play a significant role in enhancing team dynamics. Defensive tackle Aden Berisa has also remarked on the improved leadership within the team, contributing to a more refined daily practice routine.
The competition level within Class 4A football is intense, with the Raiders facing a challenging lineup of district opponents including Allen County-Scottsville, Calloway County, Logan County, and the 2024 KHSAA 4A state champions, Paducah Tilghman. Franklin-Simpson returns to the district after dropping down from 6A, adding another layer of competitiveness.
