Since coming to the Village Lions as a wee lad in the fall of 1999, Stevie Raia has inspired his teammates with his refuse-to-lose focus and unparalleled physical play. The Staten Island product played a critical role in the Lions’ Northeast D-2 title this past fall from the back of the scrum; perhaps no play better sums up Raia’s drive than when he carried five Middlesex defenders over the line for a try to pace the Lions to the championship.
