Hall of Fame
Chuck Mills is known as a key figure who raised the profile of the Southern Oregon football program in nine seasons (1980-88) as its head coach. Mills spearheaded a fundraising drive that remodeled Raider Stadium and in 1983, the first year the Raiders played in front of the new grandstand, he led them to their first nine-win season, first top-10 national ranking and an NAIA District II championship. In 1985, Mills and the Raiders traveled to Kobe, Japan to play an international collegiate game against Kwansei Gakuin University; a year later, KGU became the first Japanese college team to compete on American soil. Mills' Raiders delivered the school's first NAIA Championship Series victory in 1987.
