Indianapolis – In a rare game played at Cardinal Ritter, the Raiders received the opening kickoff, and ultimately had to punt after a botched snap stalled a promising drive. Scecina’s offense marched down the field but stalled near the red zone and settled for a field goal to take 3-0 lead.
Ritter would get on the board in the first quarter with a Jordyn Graham 75-yard touchdown reception from his brother, Jaydyn. Scecina would counter with a 6 play 63-yard drive to take a 10-7 lead after Gavin Connel found the fendzone for the first o two scores.
The Raiders would then rattle off 26 unanswered points. Raiders scored on a 8-yard touchdown pass from Graham to Marcus Harris. The first half concluded with Tavien Fox rushing for an impressive 75-yard touchdown on a fake punt to go on top 19-10 into the break.
Naalyn Vaughn got the scoring started in the second half with a 55-yard interception return for a touchdown for Cardinal Ritter. Scecina turned the ball over on downs and then Jayden Graham scrambled for a 5-yard touchdown to extend the lead to 33-10. Gavin Connel scored on a 12-yard touchdown run within the final two minutes to conclude the game.
