hom e opener last Friday
night with a big crowd enjoy
ing the almost ideal football
evening. Touchet spoiled the
Cardinal’s outing by dealing
them a 44-14 loss.
The Cards received
the opening k ic k o ff and

moving over the 50 yard line
with passes and rushes. Af

needed just two plays from
scrimmage to find the end
zone for the first time, con
necting on a 25 yard pass
and then running in from
25 yards out. With the point
after good, Touchet led 8-0.
The visitors let the Cardinals
know who was boss by then

board early in the second
quarter on a drive starting on
their own 32. Senior running

breakaways. “As I watched
the tape, 1 saw that we were
in position to make a lot of

Cory Peterson led
the Cardinals offense with
174 yards on 12 carries and
one touchdown. Defensive
