Hello Raider Fans. An apology is in order for
not keeping the site up to date during the 2009 season. There
were a lot of technical difficulties early in the season and as the
season went on there wasn't enough time. We promise this will
not happen again and as you can see all the problems are fixed.
On a sad note, the Raiders have lost a GREAT COACH,
Coach McNea. Coach McNea in his 7 years as Head Coach compiled
a record of 47-19-2 including the 1975 ICL Title, before leaving
South Range to go with Coach Earl Bruce to Ohio State.
Robert McNea entered coaching hall of fame

Robert Noble McNea gave names to football plays that were easy to
remember.
"Sally," for one, was a zigzagging fake and reverse named for fan
dancer Sally Rand.
McNea, a top high school coach and a college assistant, died
Saturday, March 6, at Lakewood Hospital, three days after falling at
his nearby home. He was 87.
Digger Dawson, an Ohio football historian, called McNea analytical
and driven. "He'd run the same play in practice over and over and
over."
McNea graduated from East High School and served in the Navy during
World War II. He sat on the bench at Miami of Ohio, studying
innovative coach Sid Gillman.
McNea was an assistant coach at Cuyahoga Falls High and head coach
at Leetonia, Mansfield, East Liverpool, Massillon Jackson and South
Range High School downstate. He turned some long-losing schools into
big winners. He had 120 wins, 46 losses and five ties. He was
inducted into the Ohio High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame.
He was also backfield coach at Northwestern University for an old
Miami classmate, Ara Parseghian, later famous at Notre Dame. From
1979 until his retirement in 1987, McNea was recruiting coordinator
at Ohio State for a former Mansfield assistant, Earl Bruce. He
helped design the Woody Hayes Indoor Sports Complex.
In retirement, he was an assistant track coach at St. Edward High
School. He wintered in Fort Lauderdale.
The lifelong bachelor outlived his five siblings and a young
assistant he'd adopted. Chambers Funeral Home of Cleveland is
arranging his funeral at 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 10, at St.
Ignatius of Antioch Catholic Church.
