Grand Rapids, MI—GRCC’s Raider football team is now 2-0 after a decisive 65-12 win over the West Michigan Tigers. The Tigers were the first to strike as quarterback Daniel Silva connected with Jason Ketchum on a 35 yard touchdown pass early in the game, but the night belonged to the Raiders.

Altogether the Raiders accumulated 368 yards of total offense led by quarterback Cody Kater who went 13-18 for 192 yards and 3 TDs and Korey Ringer who rushed for 93 yards on 9 carries with one TD. The Raider’s defensive line played exceptionally well holding the Tigers to only 15 yards on the ground. The Raider’s special teams also got into the scoring mix as Najee Brown returned at PAT attempt for 2 points and Brandon Paschall returned a kick off 66 yards for a touchdown.

Next week the Raiders head to Wahpeton, North Dakota to play the North Dakota State College of Science. In 2010 the Raiders returned to Grand Rapids with a 55-7 victory.
