WALKING THE DOG!!!!
October 24, 2009 By Redd Rider of Good Hope High School
The Raiders finally got the offense working tonight, scoring 3 touchdowns in the first quarter and 3 in the second heading into the locker room up 42-6!
With Scott Motes at the helm the Raiders had no problem moving up and down the field capitalizing on a couple Bulldog miscues that led to the Raiders recovering fumbles.
Josh McClure was on fire tonight as well as Taylor Hollis and Cassidy Stanford. Jake Mann continues to play hard each and every game. Dallas Blakely, Joey Williams, Austin Thornton, Isaac Shaddix, Daniel Brown, Christopher Davis, Jordan Harbison and Derrick Eller all made solid impacts for the Raiders.
Hunter Howard was 6 for 6 on extra point attempts.
Coach Moss played virtually the entire squad giving the younger players some valuable game time experience in nearly all of the second half. Charles Jones played quarterback most of the second while Nikolus Morris played a large role as well as Cassidy Stanford.
This game had some very exciting moments. One that comes to mind is a leap that Taylor Hollis made to score a touchdown! Number 19 jumped about 5 feet in the air over a would be tackler to give the Raiders 6!
Josh McClure had two 70 yard touchdowns where he left the Bulldog defender in his dust (mud). McClure had 208 yards to lead the Raiders.
As stats become available we will update this article.
