Wyatt Thayer also recieved a kick return near Kenesaw’s touchdown line and ran it back for a touchdown. The tackling stats for the game are listed below.
Brian Blevins, head coach, stated the team made a lot of mistakes both mentally and physically, but they still have a lot of room for improvement, as they started with alot of guys with very little playing experience. Coach Blevins was also asked what he would like to work on in practice, “They need to stay on the course and continue to get better and improve our individual play”. Blevins also stated that this week’s match-up (Hampton) is like us, they are young and and don’t have a lot of experience back. He thinks Hampton will be a better match against us.
Next week, the Raiders will take on Hampton at home in Lawrence. Please come support the Raiders!
