Raiders suffer football loss to Gorillas

The Lake Roosevelt Raiders football team lost 28-8 to the Davenport Sept. 23, unable to stop the Gorillas' running game.

Davenport put the first points on the board with a rushing touchdown and a two-point conversion to go up 8-0.

In the second quarter, Raider Gabe Waters recovered a Gorilla fumble but the Raiders were unable to cash in.

Later in the second quarter, with under a minute left in the half after Davenport punted to LR, Raider quarterback Brit Egbert threw a long pass to Chase Clark, who caught the ball and ran into the endzone to complete the 73-yard play.

A successful two-point conversion pass from Egbert to Tanner Whitelaw evened up the score at 8-8 for the half.

In the third quarter, the Gorillas ran another touchdown to go up 14-8, then cashed in on an intercepted Raider pass by running for another touchdown to end the third quarter up 20-8. 

Davenport scored another rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter to go up 28-8 and ultimately win the game.

The Raiders next game is scheduled for  7 p.m. on Oct. 1 at Oroville.
