The rain and the Johnston Rams put up a good fight, but they could not stop the Raiders, who won victory number 19 by a score of 17-7. The Rams were determined, but not as de- termined as the Raiders were to win the game. In the 1st quarter, Emory Bellard threw a 62-yard bomb to Jackie Linam in the end zone. In the 3rd quarter Bellard again hit paydirt with a 40-yard toss to Mike Bayer. The golden toe of Billy Schott kicked a field goal and two extra points, giving the Raiders a slim 10 point margin over a tough Johnston squad. CROCKETT . . . With the pinpoint passing of Emory Bellard and an outstanding defense, the Raiders shut out the Crockett Cougars, a team new to the district, by a score of 24-0. The first tally for Reagan came in the 2nd quarter when Billy Schott booted a field goal. Shortly before the end of the half Jackie Linam received a four-yard toss from Bellard in the end zone. Near the end of the 3rd quarter Donald Ealey scampered 6 yards past the Cougar defenders for a touchdown. Mike Bayer tallied the final Raider touch- down on a one-yard plunge. Schott kicked the 3 extra points. The unbeatable Reagan defense held the punchless Cougars to 103 yards total offense.
