Game MVP

Whittier, CA — It was a big opening night for the Raiders as they hit the road to compete against Whittier High School. The Raiders came out sluggish in the first half, but capitalized on an early fumble recovery by Junior Mike Lozano, which led to an early 12 yard rushing score by Sophomore Aiden Peru. The Raiders offense dominated the second half, with Junior Anthony Abad striking for a 10 yard Touchdown run early in the third quarter. Abad would not be the only Raider to find the end zone, as Senior quarterback Landon Martin quickly found Senior Tyler Robertson on the next series for a 43 yard touchdown reception. Martin would then turn to Junior Olin Morales-Hyder, connecting on touchdown catches of 31 yards and 9 yards. Junior Brady Ackerman also turned in a note-worthy performance, ending the night with two catches for 71 yards. Senior Quarterback Landon Martin turned in an efficient performance, going 8-11 for 183 yards with three touchdown passes.
