DAVIDSON — The Raiders were expecting a tough fight from Assiniboia last weekend, and they did not disappoint.

The visiting Assiniboia Rockets handed Davidson their first loss of the season, with a final score of 52-36, in the Sept. 9 senior football game.

Raiders coach Jason Low was upbeat despite the loss, saying the experience served to prepare the team for the challenges they’ll face in the rest of the season.

“We knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” he said Wednesday, noting that Assiniboia had a 5-1 record last season and reached the provincial quarter-finals.

Assiniboia’s Riley Moneo was first to score in Friday’s game, followed shortly by a touchdown by Davidson’s Addison Ouellette.
