With the football season ready to begin, it’s important to recognize one of the most significant people in the Iroquois West High School program is a girl. Actually that girl is very important to all of the Raiders athletics. She will be seen on the sidelines, attending to injuries. She is Mackenzie Stevenson and she is an integral part of the Raiders teams as their athletic trainer.
