Ouch . . . That hurt . . . Go play one of the best Class D-2 teams in the state and you need your best effort and performance. And . . . that didn't happen for the L-N Raiders Friday during their trip to Kenesaw to play a team in the top four (NSAA point standings) in the State Class D-2 rankings.

"It was the best of times . . . it was the worst of times . . ." Someone far smarter than this reporter once felt the need to use the above quote to help describe activity they were experiencing. I couldn't help but use it to help explain the L-N Raider – Blue Hill football game from last Friday night. The game had something for almost everyone . . . and it lasted 12 seconds too long for the Raider fans. Ya, BH scored the winning TD and PAT with 12 seconds on the clock . . . which came just 32 s...
