3 and out and nice punt and good coverage. X takes over at 41 with 9:20 to play.

One first down then punt downed at Ryle 12. Raiders take over 10:44 ti play.

A temporary demise has been overcome! Congrats to T!!

X forces 3 and out. End of 3Q 49-28 X

Raiders force a 3 and out after a good return by Harbin. Punting from own 39. Nice hang time on punt and fair catch at Ryle 20.

Another nice 80-yard TD drive by Ryle. Two big pass plays to Lyons and Lee and a couple runs by Savage. A nice scramble and about a 15 yard TD pass from Verax to Savage. 49-28 X with 2:19 to go in 3Q.

Congrats to Highlands. The Birds have asserted themselves as the best team in NKY at this point in the season.

First play pick 6 by X. Four easy TD’s now and X leads 49-21 with 4:16 left. Kudos to X for forcing mistakes.

Excellent 40 or so yard kickoff return by Gray. X has been gaining some big chunks on Ryle on the ground. QB pass intercepted by Lyons at Ryle 21. It looked like a bobble by the receiver

Excellent 57-yard kickoff return by Lyons with a face mask penalty tacked on. 1st and 10 Raiders from X 17. 3 and 7 pass incomplete. Fortunate 4th down reception for 1st and goal from 4. No gain on keeper on first down. Fumble on second down recovered by Raiders. 3 and goal from 3. Offsides by X. 2 yard TD pass from Verax to Lee. 42-21 7:00 left in 3Q.

Horse collar on kickoff coverage to go from 15 to 30, where X started their drive. Nice drive but sack on 2nd down makes it 3rd and 11. Excellent pass to Harbin (spelling) for a TD at the side of end zone. 9:47 3Q 42-14.

I miss seeing you TP94 and your updates are much better than mine.

Drive stalls and 35-14 at the break with the Xaverians on top.

We had a game Ru. Too many mistakes against a good team. X is not down. Excellent 35 yard kickoff return plus a horse collar tackle and Ryle starts at X 45.

Raiders barely miss on 3rd down pass from Verax to Lorms. Blocked 36-yard FG and great hustle by Landon Lorms to save another easy TD. 1st and goal at 8. Yates with 2 yard run on 2 and goal. 35-14 X with 1 minute left in 2 Q. 3 easy TDs is a killer.

One first down by Raiders then punt on 4 and 4. Knuckleball punt fumbled by X returner and recovered by Nate Verax at X 33.

X goes for it on 4 and 4 from Ryle 24. Pass slightly overthrown and Ryle takes over on downs at own 24.

Ryle finally putting a nice drive together starting at about own 20 and overcoming a holding call. Big play was a really nice escape and 33 yard pass by Verax. X stuffed Ryle for a 3-yard loss on 4 and 1 at the 13. Then nice fourth down completion by Verax. About an 80-yard drive for a TD with most all of the yards on the ground. Verax with a sneak for the TD. 28-14 X with 7:48 left in 2Q.

Another St X drive for TD with 16 ticks left in 1Q. 28-7 X.

Does Grant have a turf field?

Another 3 and out by Ryle. 5 penalty yards and one pass of 8 yards then a sack on third down. Punt and X takes over at Ryle 41.

Bad drive including a third down fumble recovered by Ryle at their own 3 or 4. Punt return for a TD with 3:56 left in 1Q. 21-7 X. Two easy scores is a recipe for disaster:

St X completes 2 short passes plus a run. 2 yards on the drive. 3 and out. Punt fair catch at Ryle 17.

St X is doing a good job of directional kickoffs. Ryle starts at own 16 and gets 8 yards. Good punt coverage and no return by X

Ryle starts at own 16. Bad snap on first down recovered by X in end zone for a TD. 14-7 X. 8:28 1Q.
