Main camp helped the V.I. Raiders get ready to play some football.

Nanaimo’s B.C. Football Conference team held camp this weekend at Merle Logan Field and the Raiders feel like they’re heading in the right direction.

“We’ve made a lot of progress,” said Doug Hocking, Raiders coach. “We still have such a long way to go before Week 1, but we did a great job, our coordinators did a great job, our position coaches did a great job getting these guys ready … We are ahead of where we were last year at this time.”
