For the first time in two years, Raider fans and players alike could finally celebrate under the Friday night lights. Snapping a 12-game losing streak, the raiders found a way to win in an electric atmosphere.

Last year, Falls City dominated the Raiders with a final score of 43-8. This year was a much different story, with a final score of 16-14. The Raiders battled their way through the close, competitive game, escaping with a win.  This season, the Raiders have come out with renewed energy and determination, showing grit, and giving their fans plenty to be excited about. Notable plays from the game include Junior Rhett Urzendowski’s passing touchdown to Senior Perry Anderson, and Urzendowski’s rushing touchdown which came after a 70 yard run by Junior  Owen Ohnoutka. Junior Sean Webster was also dominant, with 2.5 sacks and a safety. Here’s what Anderson had to say on the game:

This victory gave the Raiders a 1-1 record to start off the season. They look to build on this momentum, and have proved that last years season is behind them. Fan anticipation is building as Raider Faithful are ready to cheer them on through thick and thin.
