Raiders ruled on the road

The Raider football team defeated the Lind-Ritzville-Sprague Broncos 25-7 on the road in their first away game of the season Friday.

“The game was good,” Coach Tim Rasmussen said. “It was our first road game of the year. The kids went out and played very well. It’s always interesting when we go out on the road. The opponent was a well-coached football team and a respected football team.

We played a really solid team game.”

Cameron St. Pierre rushed for three touchdowns, and 122 yards.

Hunter Whitelaw rushed for a touchdown, as well, and also threw for 84 yards as quarterback, including a 48-yard pass to Sam Wapato.

Jaimen Schmidt hit one of three extra-point kicks.

Another one of the extra-point kicks, Rasmussen said, went in, but the officials ruled it wide.

Defensively, Tyler Jordan recovered a fumble forced by the Raiders, and Bobcat Flowers had nine tackles in the game.

The offense totalled 327 yards.

“We’re very pleased with how we started on the road,” Rasmussen said.

The Raiders will play in Manson at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27.
