“Our main goal was to run right at them and see if they could stop us,” said Isaac Grose. “
Cayden Lambert led the receiving game for the Raiders with 25 yards on three catches for one touchdown.
Weehler, the starting quarterback, was six-of-eight for 77 yards and two touchdowns. Weehler through one interception.
The Mount Ayr defense found their way through the line multiple times to get to the quarterback four times, as well as recovering a fumble and one interception.
