RECAP
The Raiders kicked the game off to the Knights stopping them on a three and out drive causing DP to punt the ball to the quick and elusive Jaron Moor. Lakota-Adams-Edmore came right out on offense with the ability to score, handing the ball off to Jaron Moor for a 3 yard TOUCHDOWN. Then the Knights came out to show they had a passing game that the Raiders could not stop, Logan Lund was capable to throw all over the field with his receivers Dylan Gillett, Scott Rorvig and Chris Brogdon. Lund connected with Gillett on a 52 yard reception ending the drive with a Logan Lund 10 yard rushing Touchdown ending the Quarter with a 8-8 tie game. Starting the 2nd Quarter Eric Haugland and the Lakota-Adams-Edmore Raiders continued to run the football with conviction, completing the drive with an Eric Haugland, 2 yard TOUCHDOWN run. The Knights began to show more and more ability to throw the football as the high scoring second Quarter began, Logan Lund was capable to throw the football all over the field, making the Raiders secondary look bent out of shape for most of the first half. Lund went in on a 5 yard Touchdown rush with 8:45 left in the 2nd Quarter. With only 5:40 left in the 1st half Eric Haugland showed his speed scoring a rushing TOUCHDOWN for the Raiders. Throughout the game Logan Lund, was for the most part free to roam in the pocket, not getting to much pressure from the Raiders Defense allowing him to run the ball as much as throw. Lund scored another rushing Touchdown with 4:54 remaining in the 2nd Quarter making this game appear to be a showdown. However the Raiders were having none of it, Chris Miller was cruising down the field showing off his speed with a little over 2 minutes remaining, Miller got back to back carries both for 20 yards, finishing the Raiders drive with a 20 yard TOUCHDOWN run to close the the 1st half off with a 30-22 lead over DP.
The beginning of the 3rd Quarter was an exciting one for the Raiders, as Jaron Moor showed why a "Quick Six" at the beginning of the half is important bringing a 65 yard TOUCHDOWN rush to the HOUSE with 11:07 remaining in the 3rd. The Knights took the field with the same mindset as they had in the 1st half, Throw over top the Raiders secondary. Showing great coverage down field Logan Lund was pressured to run the football but Garret Pic was having none of it stripping the ball and taking it 55 yards back for the Raiders TOUCHDOWN!!! Dakota Prairie didn't show to much concern after the Raiders Touchdown, being able to drive down the field capitalizing on a Logan Lund connection to Scott Rorvig for the Dakota Prairie Knights Touchdown. Although the Raiders appeared to struggle defensively when it came to stopping the pass, they continued to dominate running the football offensively, As Chris Miller went on a one play 56 yard TOUCHDOWN run. Not long after that on the next Dakota Prairie Knights drive there was a stop in the game with a scarey collision with DPs Scott Rorvig and LAEs Chris Miller and Zac Sundre, Logan Lund connected on a pass with Rorvig while Miller took him down from behind Zac Sundre and Scott Rorvigs legs collided. Scott Rorvig got injured on that play injury is not known at this time but Rorvig did have to go with the ambulance. The Raiders and Knights went back at it, after the stop in action, Raiders regained possession of the football after making a stop defensively. Chris Miller once again was not going to be shut down, taking a 67 yard rush all the way for another Raiders TOUCHDOWN. After Millers Touchdown Coach Harder pulled the Starters with 5:00 left in the 3rd, giving the second stringers a chance to play. The starters came off the field excited and proud they had defeated there Rivals, the Dakota Prairie Knights!
FINAL SCORE: Raiders 66 Knights 28

QUESTION
After watching the game against DP, who do you think would win the 50 yard Dash?
- Jaron Moor
- Chris Miller
- Garret Pic
| Team Before Kickoff |
Chris Miller, had a great game against the Dakota Prairie Knights, having 3 Touchdowns in the game and adding up to having about 180 yards rushing. He would not of been able to get those yards without the help upfront from the offensive line, including Dylan Beck, Garret Pic, Justin Smaaladen and Carl Kolbo. This game proved once again why the Lakota-Adams-Edmore Raiders are so dangerous on the ground this season picking up positive yards almost every time they get the ball.
I had the opportunity to talk to Chris Miller, about the DP and the upcoming Thompson game. Chris always has his head up and looks to make a play every time he's on the field. Every player on any team always has leaders! Chris Miller definitely has the capability to be a leader on the Raiders squad. Millers response to being a leader "We all just have to work together, to make the team stronger". I also asked Miller about the magnitude going into Fridays game against Thompson he told me if the Raiders can win against Thompson they can defeat anyone, being that Thompson has one of the better teams in this area. Let downs are crucial on any squad "We can't have big heads" Miller said. "Clear my mind, think of duties on field, nothing but football" Chris Miller responded after I asked him what his pregame routine is. Chris Miller hasn't been afraid to make a play this season. Continue to expect more big plays from him this season!
