They would like to break through and pick up that first post season victory in 2016. Since 2010, Randolph has gone a combined 21-40.

Under his direction the Raiders have qualified for the playoffs once. They have not won a region crown with Coach Flanagan. Coach Flanagan's overall record as a head football coach in one season stands at 7-4 (63.6%). The Randolph Raiders will play in Class 4A region seven during the 2016 season.
