| | | | SIMSBURY/GRANBY RAIDERS History | | | | | | | by martha hogan posted 08/02/2007
Some Simsbury/Granby Raiders History... Last season, the Raiders Board of Directors changed the name of the Farmington Valley Raiders Youth Football and Cheerleading program to the Simsbury/Granby Raiders Youth Football and Cheerleading program.
Why the name change? A large majority—over 95 percent of the players in our organization—resides in Simsbury and Granby. The new name better represents our organization’s demographics. In addition, the name change indicates stronger ties with the Simsbury High School football program. In fact, our Raiders team will play many of the same teams, including Bloomfield, Glastonbury, East Hartford, Windsor, South Windsor, and Hartford. Practice remains located at Henry James Memorial School in Simsbury. We play our home games on the HJMS fields or at Simsbury High School.
The Raiders will continue to strengthen the organization. The team name change further acknowledges the high regard we have for the Granby High School football movement. The Raiders donate 10% of each Granby registration fee to the cause, helping to contribute to the future success of Granby football. In addition, we will continue to recruit players and cheerleaders from other surrounding towns and contribute to the Canton High School football program to help them continue to bring football to the youth in their town.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Simsbury/Granby Raiders President AJ Taddio (
