Week 3 Nicollet 28 - WWG 12 - Tabor came home from school to help do the defensive stats for the game, after being the fill-in videographer for last weeks game.
Best team Nicollet has faced so far this season.  The Chargers can to hit and it was a hard fought contest.  The Elliott boyz combined for 198 yards rushing (Tanner - 102 & Dalton 96) and both had a rushing TD.  Dalton also threw for 126 yards with a TD.  WWG scored both their TD's on special teams mistakes, one on a bad snap over punters head and one on a blocked punt.  Offensively they could get nothing going against a very swarming Nic defense.  At one point the coach in the both was overheard telling the head coach if we can't block that #40 (Tanner) we are not going to be able to run outside.  Bottom picture is Tanner after a hard 4 yard run and he broke 2 snaps on his chinstrap on the hit.  New HS rules, if a player loses his helmet he needs to come off for 1 play and with it being 4th a goal from the 3 yard line and no RB, coach took a knee with 1:07 on the clock and a 16 point lead.  Def. finished the game out and the celebration was on.  This is the 1st time Nic has beaten WWG 3 years in a row, with 2 of 3 coming on their field.
Next week is the Hwy 99 battle as the Raiders travel 16 miles to Cleveland for the annual battle with the Clippers.  Nic is currently on a 6 game win streak versus the Clippers and looking to make it 7.  Tanner has never lost to the Clippers at any level of Football and he is going to make sure the rest of the Raiders are ready to go out with a perfect record.  Cleveland is much improved this year and it will be two 3-0 teams going at it.  Only one will be 4-0.
