Reed
The Raiders turned in their best performance of the young season and improved to 2-2 in the process after a convincing 55-21 win at home over Carson Friday night.
After racing out to a 21-7 in the first quarter, Reed came out swinging early in the second and pulled out their bag of tricks when receiver Alex Casarez took the handoff and connected with Trevor Kibala on a 75-yard touchdown pass. The Raiders would take a 41-14 lead into the half and cruise the rest of the way.
Quarterback Baylor Horning was an efficient 7-for-9 passing for 55 yards and a touchdown to Demarea Johnson-Cooper, and the running game took care of the rest. Elijah Tau Tolliver led both teams with three touchdowns on just seven carries and 80 yards. Both Tyler Curry and Christian Richer also ran one into the end zone to give the Raiders five rushing touchdowns on the night.
On the other side of the ball, Champ Robertson led the team in tackles with 11 and Ezra Belingheri recorded two of the Raiders six sacks.
Next up, Reed (2-2) will play at Wooster (2-2) Friday night at 7 p.m.
