Lady Raiders are champions, no matter the final score

Way to go Lady Raiders!
As a member of the first Three Rivers graduating class I’ve been a Raiders fan since day one. I’ve never been prouder of a group of winners than I am of the Lady Raiders.
I’m proud of all TRC students’ victories,, whether it is in sports or academia, but I’m especially proud of you.
You’ve survived COVID-19. Some have had personal injuries and battles to overcome. You have each worked to meet personal goals, as well as fulfill the team’s dream. You’ve met the challenge of your academic goals.
While your personal destinations will be different, you are focused and have made the team’s journey your own. You, in my opinion, always will be champions.
With the will and drive you give to the team and school, you will be victorious in the game of life, too.
Each of you are role models for the youth of the community and the region. You are showing youngsters how to make goals and battle to the end. You are demonstrating it is not the size of the high school or the college you attend, but the strength of family, school, as well as one’s individual desire, to get the most out of life.
Your school, your family and your community want you to know we believe you are each a winner. No matter the final score, you are our champions and are great ambassadors for TRC and the community.
Keep being triumphant in life.
