J Page 12 Raider Football The Lone Tree Reporter, October 11, 2001 i Raiders thump Mediapolis 42,15 by Ron Rife staff writer Highland (Ainsworth - Riverside) - Lone Tree ruined Mediapolis' Homecoming Friday night, overcoming a fired up bunch of Bulldogs to post a 42-15 win in Class 2A District 8 play. "Maybe I'm greedy" said Raiders Coach, Dan Dickel, after the game. "We have high expectations and there were a lot of things that didn't please me. We need to be ready to start at the beginning of the game. We had some distractions this week which we didn't handle. We ran well. Now we have Homecoming at Lone Tree next week and more distractions:' Indeed, it was Mediapolis that was really ready to start from the opening kickoff. The Bulldogs ran the kickoff back to their 30 and drove to the opening score of the night. It took them 18 plays and over half of the first quarter, but they got the ball in the end zone. The touch- down came on a one yard run by quarterback Kyle Hauenstein. Bryan Spears kicked the extra point and Medapolis led, 7-0, with 4:36 left in the quarter. From that point on, the Raiders pretty much got their act together and dominated the game. The Raiders scored on their first four possessions. The first score came on a 62 yard, nine play drive. Josh Zaruba called his own number for the touchdown, rolling around end on a option for the final 15 yards. Larry Jones kicked the extra point and it was 7-7 with 0:15 left in the quarter. The Raiders struck quickly after forcing a punt that went out of bounds on their 48. On first down Michael LaRoche cruised over the left side for 49 yards. Mike Poch then drove over from the three. Jones extra point made it 14-7 with 11:16 left in half. After forcing another Mediapolis punt, the Raiders started from their 23. On the 10th play of the 77 yard drive Zaruba again took off with the ball, cruising 25 yards for the touchdown. Jones again added the extra point, making it 21-7 with 4:30 left in the half. Zaruba quickly put the Raiders on the offense again when he inter- cepted a pass at the Mediapolis 40. Again, it took H-LT two plays. Zamba threw an incomplete pass on first down. On second down, he rolled to his right looking for a receiver, found none, tucked the ball under his arm and cut back left, rac- ing the 40 yards for the score. Jones again added the point after and it was 28-7 with 3:12 left in the half. The Raiders picked up in the third quarter right where they left off at halftime. Returning the second half kickoff to their own 40, they used 12 plays to cover the 60 yards. Jones got the final four yards for the score and then added the extra point, making it 35-7 with 6:38 left in the third period. An interception in the end zone killed the Raiders next possession, but they scored quickly on their first possession of the fourth stanza. Taking bver on their 38, the Raiders ran three plays. LaRoche ran for four, Jones ran for four, and then La Roche got loose for 54 yards and the touchdown. Jones' conversion made it 42-7 with 9:43 left. Mediapolis finally got its offense going again. Starting from their 23 the Bulldogs scored in nine plays. Hauenstein covered the final three yards on a bootleg. Hauenstein passed to Spears for the two point conversion making the score 42-15 with 5:21 left. Unofficially, the Raiders had 17 first downs, 339 net rushing yards on 43 attempts completed four of nine passes for 50 yards and had one intercepted, were times for32 yards; and lost one. LaRoche was Raiders leading rusher with 150 yards in l0 carries, Mediapolis had 13 first downs, 66 net rushing yards on 36 attempts, completed 17 of 31 passes for 175 yards and had four intercept- ed, and were penalized fourtimes for 40 yards. The Raiders face West Burlington - Notre Dame this week at Lone Tree. It's Lone Tree's Homecoming. Pictured at top, the Raider's kicker tries for the extra point, which was good. Above, one player is tackled, but keeps a tight grip on the ball.
