The football community is coming together to help one of their own. Several individuals and organizations are planning benefits for Racine Raiders linebacker Jamie Isome. A few events are already underway or have been held already.
Isome, 32, had surgery to remove a five-inch brain tumor just two weeks ago. Test results done following the surgery, where doctors successfully removed about 90%, showed that Isome had glioblastoma, which is the most aggressive form of brain cancer.
The Kane County (Ill) Eagles ended the Raiders North American Football League (NAFL) playoff run early Saturday night by beating the Raiders 48-17 in front of nearly 2,000 extremely disappointed fans at Historic Horlick Field. The Raiders now must decide whether they will enter the United States Football Association (USFA) Midwest Football Tournament, which they won in 2006 by beating the Detroit (Mich) Seminoles.
The Racine Raiders are once again offering three, $500 scholarships to deserving Racine-area high school seniors in 2008. The scholarships are based on a number of criteria, including: ACT score, grade-point average, class rank, involvement in school programs, involvement in community activities, future goals, and need.
