The Raiders must protect QB Trevor Johnson when he is in the pocket and keep the offense moving downfield to put points on the board. Those are the fundamentals aspects of the game that are going to bring the Raiders another win tonight. “If we can’t protect the quarterback, we won’t be able to run or throw,” said coach Donmoyer.

After last week’s win, Bellefonte coach Vaughn Donmoyer applauded the team for their win, but also stated that he knows improvements need to be made. Against Hollidaysburg, the Raiders are going to need everything they gave against Philipsburg, and more. In a game that was 9-8 late in the fourth quarter, the Raiders held Philipsburg from scoring in the final seconds of the game.Īlthough the Raiders only scored nine points last week, the Raiders came away with a much-needed conference victory. Bellefonte picked up their first win of the season a week ago when they gutted out a win over Philipsburg 9-8 at Rogers Stadium. The Raiders (1-4) are back at home this week for a second-straight game tonight as they face the Hollidaysburg Tigers (0-5). If the Wildcats show up on offense, the defense should do the rest and the Wildcats can pickup their first win on homecoming night. Central Mountain’s defense is starting to show up in crucial moments, but when they do, the offense gets forced into punt scenarios. The Wildcats must focus on their defensive prowess and moving the chains to get more first downs. If the Wildcats did not let the third quarter slip away–a quarter where they gave up two touchdowns–they would be looking for win number two this week. Against Shamokin, the Wildcats recorded at least five sacks and the defensive line did a good job flushing Shamokin QB Brett Nye out the pocket.įor the Wildcats to pickup their first win tonight, controlling momentum swings must be first on their list. Serafini recorded two rushing touchdowns last week against Shamokin and Foltz made some crucial catches to help keep the chains moving.ĭefensively, Central Mountain’s defense has seen some underrated improvement over the past few weeks. Offensively, the Wildcats are going to need everything they can get out of their go-to players in Rocco Serafini and Connor Foltz.
