They rebounded nicely against a previously unbeaten Arapahoe team, at Arapahoe, Friday, with a 68-14 trouncing of the Warriors. The Raiders scored early and often against a hapless Arapahoe defense.

The Red Cross Bloodmobile arrived in Nelson early Friday morning, for the regular blood drive. The day ran smoothly this time. No one had to wait more than a couple minutes. Since the Red Cross lifted all of their restrictions, everyone was able to enjoy a full lunch with coffee after their donation, thanks to the Nelson PEO Ladies.

The collection came up a little short of meeting the goal again, mainly because several that weren’t quite eligible because of the dates and number of times they ca...
