The name came from a high school football game in about 1938 when the team in white uniforms known as the East High Warriors went across town in a late fall blizzard and beat the favored Maroons from Central 7-6 in front of a crowd of over 10,000 fans. In the mud the white uniforms turned black and the local paper said that a hardy band of black raiders stole the game from favored Central.
The name stuck.
