Bud Messick to kick off for the 5th time tonight. He has done a fantastic job of booming the ball down the field. Not much time left. This will be the last possession for Merced. The only question is can they score.

Messick runs up, the kick is high, end over end and taken by Ramirez at the goal line. Big hole up the middle. 20, 25, 30, breaks a tackle and reverses his field to the 40, 50 and down to the 43 yard line of Raymond. Another huge return by Merced gives them great field position.

Shotgun formation at the 43 for Merced. Scheidt takes the snap, he is going to keep it!! He is around right end and down the sideline for a huge gain. To the 25, 20, and knocked out of bounds at the 16 yard line. 1st down Merced

Sam Scheidt back to pass, looking, now chased out of the pocket and dragged down from behind by Junior Hendricks again!! What a game Junior Hendricks has played on defense He is one fine player. Loss of a yard on the play. 2nd and 11 from the 17.

5 receivers this time, shotgun formation. Scheidt has no one to throw to and has to eat the ball for a 2 yard loss. Bud Messick, Jack Messick and Bill Oglesbee all combine for the stop. 3rd and 13 from the 19.

Tyler Davis out of the backfield wide open, Scheidt completes the pass and Davis walks into the endzone with a 19 yard touchdown run. Davis just beat the defense with his amazing speed and Scheidt laid the ball in there for the TD. Ramirez for the extra point, and it is good. And that is the ball game. Final score Raymond 35 - Merced 13.

Coach Hendricks any words for us?

Yes it was a great game. I thought our offensive and defensive lines won the game tonight. They controlled the line of scrimmage. Merced has a good team, and it was closer than it looks. Remember they dropped 2 TD passes in the first half, or it would have been a different game. Thanks for having us on.

Tyler Davis your thoughts on your first game.

Well I learned a lot and had a ton of fun. Grandpa is a good coach and I can't wait to play my next game. I am really looking forward to going to Kansas for the Mid America Melee with Grandpa. Uncle Geno is going to help me with some new bases and I need some stronger ones for the line. We got killed in the line tonight.

And that will wrap it up here in Merced with the final score, Raymond Bulldogs 35 and Merced Bears 13. This is the first game for the Raymond Bulldogs since 1956 a span of 54 years!! Congratulations to them on their win.

Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you next time on the ESPN-MF Network. Good night.
