Hoping to notch their third consecutive victory and cement a playoff spot, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (5-3, 3-3 Big Rivers Conference) chewed up half the first quarter on their opening possession but came away with no points, while the Raiders (6-2, 4-2) also came up empty on their first drive.
The scoring started just a few seconds into the second quarter, however, as Hudson scored on 4th and long - and from there the home team never really looked back, as they did just enough to hold the Cards at arm's length for the rest of the game.
Senior RB/S Jackson Bohland was absolutely dynamic with the ball in his hands in any capacity as he accounted for both Chi-Hi touchdowns, one on the ground and the other on a 90 yard kickoff return for a score. Senior LB/FB Drake Daken gave another stellar effort on both sides of the ball, running hard on offense and consistently making plays in the backfield on defense.
