Northeast led 20-10 at halftime, but rolled to a 29-0 second half to cruise to a win in the Region 2-AAA opener for both teams. The Raiders got a 60-yard fumble recovery return by Cedric Jackson, a 45-yard interception return for a touchdown by Emmanuel Thorpe, and a 65-yard interception return by Kortnei Williams. Sophomore quarterback Jordan Wiggins ran 10 times for 95 yards and was 15 of 21 for 201 yards, getting two touchdowns by land and two by air. Five different Raiders caught passes led by six for 102 yards from junior Scottavian Thomas. Jackson got a 50-yard field goal in the final minute of the first half from Casten Carver. Thorpe’s 45-yard interception return for a score early in the third jumpstarted the 3-1 Raiders.
