LAFAYETTE-NICOLLET LEDGERNovember 21, 2002, Page 2Wa ilitinNotes from the editor's desk by Ruth Klossncr Now it's on to'the Prep Bowl for the Nicollet Raiders! A convincing 38-16 win over Stephen-Argyle last week Thursday propels the undefeat- ed Raiders into Saturday's state championship game. There it will be a battle of the unbeatens with the Raiders facing the Vemdale Pirates, now 12-0 on the season. Like the Raiders, Verndale whipped its opponents pretty solidly all season and had a few closer games in the playoffs. No matter how you slice it, it should be a great game. The Raiders had a fantastic following at the Dome for last Thursday's game and the crowd this week likely will be even bigger; with the game being on a Saturday. Let's all support the team as it tries to capture it's first state championship. This is a team that's already done something that's almost unheard of in football...winning 40 games in four years. With only an eight-game regular season schedule, that means making the playoffs regularly---and getting some wins at that level to even have a crack at that number. While some of this year's players had set 40 as their goal four years ago, they'd like to up that now. How about 41??? That would be sweet. Good luck, Raiders, we'll be there for you. rwr As they've done so often in recent years, the Raiders altered my vaca- tion plans again. I like to slip away for a few days in Branson each fall, between the fall and winter sports seasons. Since there is no in between seasons this year, I had to adjust my vacation to in between games. After last Thursday's game, I hurriedly fnished up the game report and photos and the salute on the back page, then took off Friday. I should be back before you even read this. And, no, I don't mind rescheduling my vaca- tion when it's for a good cause like a potential state championship! rwr With the football season extended for nearly a month, winter sports isa bit late getting started. When football is all done, I11 turn my thoughtsto basketball and wrestling and find out just what the coaches are doingabout those seasons. I'll try to report that next week.
