THAT’S A 60 YARD PITCH. AND CATCH TO THE HOUSE. EXTRA POINT ATTEMPT WOULD BE BLOCKED AS THE RAMS TAKE AN EARLY SIX TO NOTHING LEAD. NOW 16 TO NOTHING TO START THE FOURTH QUARTER. RAIDERS LOOKING FOR SOME OFFENSIVE MOMENTUM AND WILL THOMPSON WOULD FIND JOSH GOODWIN FOR A BIG CATCH AND RUN. BUT IT WOULD NOT BE LAUREN’S NIGHT. THE RAMS PICK BACK UP RIGHT WHERE THEY LEFT OFF IN 2023, GETTING THE WIN 16 TO 0. WE’RE PROBABLY NOT QUITE WHERE I WANT US TO BE OFFENSIVELY, BUT DEFENSIVELY THEY FLEW AROUND. THEY LOOK GREAT. SAME TIME. YOU KNOW YOU HEAR THE COACH OF CLICHE WORLD. THE BIGGEST JUMP YOU MAKE IS FROM WEEK ONE TO WEEK TWO. AND WE CERTAINLY NEED TO MAKE THAT JUMP COACH SCHWEIGER GETTING YEAR TWO STARTED FOR THE HILLCREST RAMS ON THE RIGHT FOOT. THEY’LL HEAD BACK TO SIMPSONVILLE WHERE THEY’LL HOST CLOVER IN WEEK ONE, WHILE THE LAURENS RAIDERS WILL TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO A CROSS COUNTY MATCHUP AGAINST THE CLINTON RED DEVILS.
