On Friday night in Manson, the Raiders continued their football win streak with a 33-7 victory over the Trojans.

The Raiders scored first, with a seven-yard touchdown run by Steven Flowers.

The Trojans were able to score the first points on the Raiders all year by returning the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown to tie the game.

“We had several attempts to make a tackle; it’s just something we’ll have to clean up,” said Coach Tim Rasmussen. “We’ve been really good on special teams. It’s a good learning experience.”

Flowers ran five yards for another touchdown, and with a missed two-point conversion attempt the score was 13-7 at halftime.

“It was a good opportunity to be in a tight game and feel the adversity from the first half,” Rasmussen said.

“The second half was ‘The Tony Nichols Show,’” Rasmussen said. “Tony really stepped up.”


The Raiders’ next three touchdowns, with help from the offensive line, were all scored by Nichols: a 14-yard run, a two-yard run, and a whopping 85-yard run.

Nichols ended the game with 29 carries for 249 yards and three touchdowns.

Flowers also had a good running game, with 17 carries for 101 yards and two touchdowns.

The Raiders didn’t allow another point from the Trojans, and the Raider defense kept the Trojan offense to under 100 yards for the game.

“Defensively, we played another really strong game, really fundamental,” Rasmussen said. “Our kids responded really well to the early challenge and we’re happy to have come away with the win.”

The Raiders will play at home on Friday, Oct. 19, for their homecoming game. They will host the Soap Lake Eagles at 7 p.m. The Raiders sit on top of the league with a 6-0 win-loss record, and the Eagles are fifth at 3-3.
