Big month, big payday for Raiders

Jess Ford set a goal and surpassed it in August, which meant the Lake Roosevelt Raider football team collected on a big pledge last week. The Ford dealership had promised to give the team $50 for every car sold in August, but reaching the 100 mark would double the pledge. "The salesmen were so excited" as they approached that goal, said Stacey Jess. With the team members calling friends and relatives and Facebooking the goal, the sales team sold 100 vehicles. Last Friday Jess Ford issued a $3,500 check for the team.
