Massena Gridmen win third straight game

The Massena Red Raiders improve their record to 4-4 with a third straight win last Friday night at Nicholas field. The Raiders defeated the Governeur Wildcats, 33-8, on the first Louis Trevino Senior night and head into playoffs with a .500 record.

Junior Jordy Mitchell had a great night running the ball for the Raiders. He started with an interception of 66 yards to the Wildcat 11 yard line, then a few plays later rushed for 5-yards which resulted in the first Massena touchdown. Mitchell continued on to carry 15 times for 140 yards and scored two touchdowns.

In the second quarter Cody Coggeshall ran 12 yards for a touchdown while Troy Myers threw James Delosh a 33 yard touchdown pass. Massena led 20-0 at halftime.

The third quarter saw Mitchell sprint 22 yards to the end and Delosh rushing 13 yards for his second TD in the fourth.

Troy Myers had 3-for-5 on the extra point kicks and completed 4-of-7 passes from 76 yards for the game. Josh Miller led the Raider defense with eight tackles and a sack.

Governeur’s Shane Gould scored the lone touchdown for the Wildcats with 52 seconds left in the game when teammate Mark Horne threw a 30 yard halfback pass.

The Raiders head to Potsdam on Saturday for the first game of playoffs.
