Channel Islands High running back Richard Gray usually has a smile on his face, which is fitting considering how many smiles he put on the faces of the school’s football fans last season.

The talented tailback was the primary offensive weapon for a Raiders squad that went 7-3 and qualified for the playoffs the first time in seven years.

Gray rushed for 1,453 yards and 10 touchdowns in the regular season, and also caught 12 passes for 111 yards and two scores.

Impressive numbers, but Gray has his goals sets even higher for 2012.
