🖤 It is with very heavy hearts that we share the passing of former Raptors athlete, Conrad Evans. 🖤

Conrad was part of our youth football family, and we are deeply saddened by this loss.

On behalf of our entire Raptors youth football family, board members, coaches, players, and parents—we extend our deepest condolences to Conrad's family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.

Please join us in keeping their loved ones in your thoughts and prayers as we honor the memory of one of our own. 🏈📣

Conrad was born on April 29th, 2010 and passed away on February 12th, 2026 at the age of 15

We’re proud to celebrate our Board Member and Coach for being recognized by the Wisconsin Rapids Area Convention & Visitors Bureau Sports Commission!

⭐️ Brian Wendt was nominated for the Lifetime Achievement Award—an incredible honor!

Your passion for youth sports shows in everything you do. The countless hours, support, and heart you give to many organizations help shape not just better players, but confident kids and strong families.

Thank you for being such an important part of our football community. 🏈

🐾💙 BACK THE BARK — Charity Games 💙🐾

The Rapids Raptors Youth Football and Cheer program proudly demonstrated its ongoing commitment to community service this season as players, coaches, and families came together to present donations to the Wood County Sheriff and the Wisconsin Rapids Police K-9 Units.

The contributions—raised through practices, games, and generous community support—will directly benefit the K-9 officers and the important work they do.

Officers from both departments attended the event with their K-9 partners, expressing their appreciation and highlighting how community support helps keep their units active, effective, and ready to serve.

Thank you to all of our families for your dedication and generosity!!! 💙🐾
