Despite kicking off, WIVIU scored the first touchdown in the fn'st few minutes of play, followed by two more in quick succession. By the half, the score was 28 to 0, with Lone Tree managing only a single first down on runs by tailback Jackie Moore of Lone Tree and fullback Jeremy Murphy of Highland. The slippery ball and muddy field appeared to play a role in the Raider's difficulties. In addition, WMU seemed to have little trouble breaking through the front line to repeatedly sack the quarterback, or even the center, before the ball could reach the runners' hands. The Raiders bounced back in the second half. On one early play, the ball was fumbled by quarterback Zach Rozmus of Highland who managed to recover it despite heavy pres- sure from WMU. He completed the play under intense pressure, passing the ball to the tailback, who ran it seventy yards for the touch- down. The Raiders held WMU to one more touchdown for the entire second half of the game. The final score was 36 to 6. Head Coach Jim Mochal did an excellent job keeping spirits up and getting the boys to treat the second half as if it were a completely different team clearly felt much positive about the 8-6 loss taking a solid beating fronl same team earlier evening. :| The coach also perfor well when it came to assU'L • cheers for good plays, e  small yardage gains, and  ing certain the players did turn negative toward  another.
