Raiders Earn First State Series Playoff Win in 30 Years, Defeats Gulliver Prep 20–13

Ransom Everglades delivered a landmark performance on Friday night, going on the road and defeating rival Gulliver Prep 20–13 to secure the program’s first state-series playoff victory in three decades. Behind a balanced offensive effort and a relentless defensive unit, the Raiders controlled the game’s key moments and wrote a historic chapter for the program.
Sophomore Quarterback Matt Guevara '28 set the tone both through the air and on the ground. He completed 8 of 14 passes for 102 yards, including a 32-yard strike that sparked the offense early. Guevara was equally impactful in the run game, carrying the ball 23 times for 89 yards and powering in a rushing touchdown while managing the offense with poise throughout the night.
The Raiders’ backfield depth proved decisive. Sophomore Noah Alce '28 added 54 hard-earned yards on 12 carries and punched in a touchdown that helped RE build second-half momentum. Sophomore Hans Van de Kreeke '28 provided an explosive spark on both sides of the ball with two carries for 26 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown that extended the lead and shifted control toward the Raiders and intercepting a pass on defense. 
Defensively, Ransom Everglades delivered stop after stop—tightening in the red zone, winning the line of scrimmage, and coming up with a key late-game stand that sealed the victory. The unit’s discipline limited big plays and allowed the offense to dictate tempo as the game progressed. With the 20–13 win, the Raiders not only advances to the next round of the FHSAA state playoffs but also celebrates a milestone generations in the making: the Raiders’ first state-series playoff triumph in 30 years, achieved on the road against a longtime rival.
