FULDA — Riding the quick legs and strong arm of senior quarterback Justin Dierks, the ever-improving Fulda Raiders thrilled the home-town fans at Alex Fisher Field with a nine-touchdown performance which produced a high-scoring, 60-44, Section 3 Nine-Man high school football playoff victory over the visiting Madelia Blackhawks last Wednesday evening, October 26.
The opening-round sectional tournament game between the fourth-seeded Raiders and the fifth-seeded Blackhawks was scheduled to be played the previous night (Tuesday, October 25), but repeated lightning strikes and a torrential downpour of rain, including a brief burst of hail, postponed the contest to a 5:00 p.m. start Wednesday.
