Lions devour Falc ms, 66-26
by Ron Rife
The Highland - Lone Tree Raiders took full
advantage of facing an outmanned opponent for the
first time this year, cruising to a 66-26 win at Louisa
- Muscatine Friday night. Because the rain got my
notebook wet I wasn't able to do play - by - play
notetaking or wind up with any final statistics. I did
get enough notes in the first half to give you an idea
of just how dominant the Raiders were. They had a
20-0 lead in the first quarter before L&M even made
• a first down. They scored the first five times they
possessed the ball.
The Raiders first touchdown came on a 43 yard
burst up the middle by Justin Neuzil. Larry Jones'
placekick for the extra point failed and it was 6-0
with 9:07 left in the quarter. The second touchdown
was a 44 yard pass from Michael Hotz to Jacob
Neuzil. Paal Dannevig kicked the extra point and it
was 13-0 with 7:22 left in the quarter. The third
Raiders touchdown came on a seven yard run by
Jones. He then kicked the extra point and it was 20-
0 with 3:30 left in the quarter.
On the next possession the touchdown came on a
26 yard run on by Hotz when he kept the ball on an
option, turned upfield and took it into the end zone.
Dannevig's placekick missed and it was 26-0 with
0:51 left in the quarter. On the next possession Jones
capped the drive with an eight yard scoring dash. He
then kicked the extra point and it was 33-0 with
10:27 left in the half.
Louisa - Muscatine was finally able to get on the
board after that. The Falcons had punted deep into
Highland - Lone Tree territory. Reserves were in the
game for the Raiders now and the Falcons forced a
fumble, recovering at the Raiders four. Matt Day
scored on the second play from three yards out.
Jones blocked the extra point kick and it was 33-6
with 6:19 left in the half.
The Falcons got their second touchdown on
another turnover just before the end of the half.
Highland - Lone Tree had driven deep into L&M ter-
ritory when Andy Fry stepped in and picked off a
Marcus Hall pass and took it back 95 yards for a
touchdown. The conversion attempt failed and the
score was 33-12 with 0:27 left in the half.
In the second half the Raiders' onslaught contin-
ued. Jacob Neuzil scored on a 15 yard run. Jones
kicked the extra point and it was 40-12 with 10:22
left in the third. Next, Nik Petersen picked off a pass
and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown. Jones
again kicked the point and it was 47-12 with 8:35 left
in the quarter. Hotz then got another touchdown on a
two yard run. Dannevig kicked the extra point and it
was 54-12 with 4:07 left in the third.
Day got a touchdown for L&M on a three yard
run and then failed on a run for the conversion, leav-
ing the score at 54-18 with 1:19 left in the third quar-
ter. The Falcons got another touchdown early in the
fourth and got
a two point
conversion to
make the
score 54-26
and then the
Raiders
tacked on two
more. First,
Rob Chamberlain scored on a three yard run. A run
by quarterback Jack Larew fell short and the score
was 60-26 with 4:32 left. The final touchdown came
after Zachary Ryerson recovered a Falcons fumble at
the L&M one.Tysen Frees scored the touchdown. A
run for the extra point failed and it was 66-26 with
2:01 left.

especially in watching these last three games, what
a difference four years has made. The Hawkeyes
have some real depth now. In 1999 they would have
been totally dominated by the competition with so
many front liners out with injuries because there
were not quality replacements. This year there are.
I'm not going through the litany of all the injured
players Iowa has. You've read all about that in the
dailies. Just say that it's about two tons more than
there were last year. Still, Iowa has been competi-
tive against the good teams. The Hawks beat
Michigan, might very well have beaten Ohio State
then really dominated Penn State much more than
the score indicates.
Iowa's slogan has been "Next man in." However
the next man in at some of the positions is gettin:
almost non - existent. Be honest, now. How many of
yo u had heard of Warren Holloway before
Saturday? I might have read about him or heard of
him when he was recruited, but I've since forgotten
about him because he hasn't been playing. But he
played a lot Saturday and made a key catch on
Iowa's first toucdown drive.
Illinois shows up this Saturday. It's another game
in which Iowa will be favored. However, it is also
likely to be the last time this year the Hawks will be
favored. They have to go to Purdue on November
8th, come home for Minnesota on the 15th, and then
to Wisconsin to finish up on the 22nd. Those are
going to be very tough games. The thing Iowa has
to do this week is not look past Illinois. It would be
very easy to do. The Illini haven't beaten a Division
I-A school this year. Their lone victory was over I-
AA Illinois State. Not only haven't they won any
games except that, for the most part they have been
getting pounded every week. Hopefully they can
keep up the 'getting pounded' mentality for one
more week.
