Raider football 2-0 after victory over the Scotties

The Raiders hosted the Highland Scotties in a smoky Coulee Dam Sept. 9, defeating them mightily and giving them a 2-0 win-loss record for the season.

The Raiders led 42-0 at the end of the first half.

In the first quarter, Ivan Alejandre ran 51 yards for a touchdown, then put the icing on the cake by kicking the extra point.

He put in work kicking extra points after a 36-yard Chase Clark touchdown run, a Brit Egbert 16-yard touchdown run, and a precision 51-yard touchdown pass from Egbert to Chase Marchand.

Alejandre also recovered a fumble for the Raiders while playing defense.

In the second quarter, Egbert ran two yards into the endzone, with Reese Hansen kicking the extra point.

Hansen kicked another extra point after Wyatt Egbert ran 19 yards into the endzone.

The third quarter was scoreless for both teams.

In the fourth, the Scotties managed to get on the board with a touchdown, and the Raiders scored once more with Wyatt Egbert throwing a 75 yard touchdown pass to Tanner Kiser, and Hansen kicking the extra point.

The Raiders won with a final score of 49-7.

Their next game is being held on Thursday, Sept. 15, at 7 p.m. in a road game against Mabton, but held at Highland High School located at 17000 Summitview Road in Cowiche, west of Yakima.

That game was originally going to be held in Coulee Dam, but poor air quality changed the game to a new location that was confirmed yesterday by Athletic Director Nancy Kuiper.
