Quarterback Evan Myers got off to a fast start, leading the Twin Valley Raiders to a 28-16 non-league win over the Conrad Weiser Scouts Friday night in Elverson.
The Raiders opened up a 14-point lead in the first quarter. Myers scored the game’s first touchdown on a 15-yard run on Twin Valley’s opening drive.
Six minutes later Twin Valley scored on a 36-yard touchdown pass from Myers to receiver Joshua Zolty. It was Zolty’s third catch of the drive.
Myers completed 9-of-14 pass attempts for 135 yards and a touchdown. He also ran four times for 41 yards and two touchdowns.
The Scouts got on the board in the second quarter on a 72-yard touchdown pass from Donovan Gingrich to Josh Miller.
Twin Valley’s Drew Engle returned the following kickoff 85-yards for a touchdown to put the Raiders back up two scores.
Gingrich didn’t complete a pass until the second quarter but his first two completions went for 72 yards and 49 yards. Big passing plays, including a 37-yarder to Luis Huertas, kept the Scouts in the game throughout.
Conrad Weiser threatened to take the lead halfway through the fourth quarter, but Twin Valley’s Evan Johnson came up with an interception on his own 24.
Myers scored his second rushing touchdown on a 13-yard run to finish off the Raiders ensuing drive.
