Rough Riders get it together after the first quarter, then cruise past the Bandits
The Central Division Champs did not start their first ever playoff game in the NLFL they way they would have liked. But from the 2nd quarter on, they ran off 64 straight points.
It's safe to say if they start that slow against the defending NLFL Champions (Brown County Blackjacks) things may turn out differently.
The 4th seed Blackjacks come to town on Saturday and will bring their 9-1 record with them.
Points may be at a minimum.
3PM Kickoff at Logan Field
To say that the defense carried the Rough Riders in this contest would be absolutely correct. For the third consecutive game, the "D" came up big and kept the Bandits out of the endzone.
Although penalties took away points, that is to take nothing away from the Marshfield Bandits. They kept the pressure but still came up short.
JiVonte Davis scored on three separate occasions and also had a punt return called back. Troy Prill was one of several Rough Riders to dominate on the defensive side of the ball with three sacks of his own.
Next up for the Rough Riders are the Mid Western Wildcats on Saturday June 19th.
