second quarter with a 75
yard touchdown run. On the
Card’s next possession, they
fumbled the ball inside their

and scooted in for another
score three plays later. The
Rangers added insult to in
jury when they intercepted a
Ramos pass and ran it back
for a touchdown with 2:53
left in the half.

down but they proved they
w eren’t out. Taking about
two minutes to do so, lone
drove from the Ranger 35
for another score. Micah
Stillman got free for a 10
yard run when they badly
needed a first down. With
just over a minute remain
ing in the half, RJ Ramos

on the Dufur 40. With time
slipping away in the half,
RJ Ramos connected with
Matt Hams for a 40 yard
touchdow n pass and the
score was 48-20.

o f distractions as the 2008
H om ecom in g c o u rt was
presented. H ow ever D u

roared out after halftime to
score twice more in the third
quarter. The Cardinals did
put together their best drive
o f the gam e at that tim e
though. Taking six and half
minutes off the clock, the
Cardinals started the drive
on their own 26 and steadily
m oved dow nfield w ith a
ground and air attack. Cory
Peterson snuck into from six
yards out for the score.

pass. He then hit Alex Fet-
terhoff for the extra point.
