The Raiders’ defense turned in its eighth shutout of the season as the team won its fourth Wyom- ing Valley West Youth Football Conference Super Bowl. The Raiders’ defense kept the potent Dallas offense scoreless behind solid defensive line play led by David Edwards, Jason An- derson, Ryan Martin, Michael Golden and Connor Motley. The line was backed up by linebackers Kyle Piskorik, Ricky Morgan and Brett Storrs. The passing defense was led by cornerbacks Nick Mathers, Christian Roberts and safety Pe- ter Capitano. Starting corner- back Tanner Gattuso went down with a knee injury and was unable to complete the game. On offense, the Raiders count- ed on a power running game be- hind the blocking of Mitch Kelly, Ryan Martin, Abdul Almeky, Mi- chael Golden and David Ed- wards. There was fine outside blocking by receivers Jay Culp and Matthew Mathers. The Raiders were able to move the ball downfield behind the power running of Bret Storrs and the outside running efforts of Connor Motley and Peter Capita- no. Two scores by Bret Storrs proved to be enough for this team of players to win.
