The Red Arrow Raiders ended the regular high school football season by winning six of their last seven games. pass to Wolnik, who caught the ball in mid-stride and took it the rest of the way into the end zone. The Raiders, consisting of players from New Buffalo and River Valley

The Raiders (6-3) defeated Bangor 60-6 at New Buffalo Friday, Oct. 21.

Head Coach Matt Johnson said the defense was the biggest factor in the outcome by keeping Bangor from moving the ball much on offense and forcing turnovers resulting in touchdowns.

“Between special teams and defense, they were probably responsible for half of our scores,” he said.

The first touchdown for the Raiders was set up by a fumble recovery from junior Ryder Wolnik, who gained about 30 yards on the return.

Senior Eli Thomas on a quarterback keeper quickly took the ball 28 yards into the end zone.

The Raiders, who started their next series of downs in excellent field position, needed just a few plays before a 10 yard touchdown run by Wolnik.

Later, Bangor was backed up close to their end zone when their punter appeared to kick the ball off the side of his foot.

Junior Payton Lijewski caught the 10 yard punt and ran 12 yards for a touchdown.

The final score of the first half was from a 50 yard touchdown high schools, improved noticeably after blow out losses to Fennville and Bridgman in their first two games. Much of the improvement was from several athletic players, who hadn’t taken part in much organized football in the past, learning how to play the game and young returning players like Payton Lijewski on defense and quarterback Ethan Lijewski coming into their own.

The Raiders even performed well after losing key starters Jaquan Pierce and David Fairchild to late season injuries.

Fairchild, along with other major impact players such as Thomas, Josh Seifert and Cadden Krieger are being lost to graduation.

However, the team has a solid core of returning starters like Wolnik, Pierce, the Lijewskis and Cameron Forker, a solid a 6-footby-3-inches, 300-pound lineman on offense and defense. “The cupboard is not going to be bare at all. We’re exciting for what we have coming back,” Johnson said.

HORR0R-SCOPE

OCTOBER 27-NOVEMBER 2, 2022

AS INTERPRETED BY SANDY “STAR” BENDT

ARIES MARCH 21—APRIL 19 It will be a dark and stormy night with a strange howling and barking in the distance. Try as you might to turn on the lights or find your umbrella, you will be in the dark and wet with fright. Whatever you do, stay away from the windows and keep that aluminum foil helmet on!

TAURUS APRIL 20—MAY 20 This is the week that everything about you changes. You will grow long fangs, sharp claws, and intense facial hair. The desire for very rare meat and sweet treats like eyeballs and cow’s tongue will be overwhelming. Others may be very frightened, but that’s what will make it feel normal.

GEMINI MAY 21—JUNE 21 You will have many sleepless nights this week because of all the chanting and stomping you will hear. You may notice a strange cone of light coming up from the woods behind your home and figures dancing in a ritual fashion. Be afraid, be very afraid.

CANCER JUNE 22—JULY 22 A box will be delivered to your home. Inside you will find a packet of seeds. Do not plant these seeds or expose them to water and certainly do not sing to them. Any kind of acknowledgment will awaken them. They may not be real but they can be conceptualized.

LEO JULY 23—AUGUST 22 A large group of crows will encircle your home. A man with an unnatural expression will speak to them and they will do his bidding. You will feel rooted to the ground, expressionless, swaying in the breeze. These crows will dive down and peck at you. Wait, is your home in a corn field?

VIRGO AUGUST 23—SEPTEMBER 22 You will visit a cabin in the woods this week and even though you are a book lover, do not open any books you find there. A book bound in strange leather, written with blood red ink has the ability to change the earth as we know it and release hell and all its demons. No more reading!

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23—OCTOBER 22 The men in black will arrive at your home again this week. It seems the recent trip you made to the desert, to a certain area has created a rip in the time space continuum again and the neighbors chihuahua has been sucked into another dimension. The local humane society has some questions also.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23—NOVEMBER 21 A caravan will be approaching your home, a night circus or dark carnival of sorts. Trucks with trailers filled with all manner of horrifying creatures great and small will be making its way to your neighborhood. Avoid this carnival and stay away from the cotton candy. It rots your teeth.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22—DECEMBER 21 Today your lucky numbers will be imaginary and your winnings will be unseen. You will hear nothing when there is no sound. You will see nothing if you do not look. If you keep your eyes closed, you will only see darkness. Also. if you keep them closed and walk, you’ll have a nice trip.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22—JANUARY 19 Lock your doors! Close the windows and do not go outside. The government has just released an announcement that the there has been a strange odor and a weird vapor has settled over the cemetery near your home. The dead have risen. They’re coming to get you Capricorn.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 20—FEBRUARY 18 You may be able to tell yourself it was only a dream and the lab wasn’t a real place. No, not that recurring dream. The one with the thunderstorm! The lightening! The howling winds. No, not last night. The night the creature lived! The towns people came with torches.

PISCES FEBRUARY 19—MARCH 20 Your feet will grow extremely large and will not fit any of your shoes. Your face will turn white and an unusual smile will caress your lips. Your car will become extremely small but will hold more people than you can imagine. The mere presence of you will make babies puke.
