First Citizens/Monteriors Cowboys
The Cowboys squared off against the Vikings and the Eagles for the Jamboree, Tuesday night under to bright lights at NarancheField. The Cowboys lost to the Vikings 0-14, but came out in the second game and beat the Eagles 21-6.
Leading the charge for the Cowboys was there star running back August (SPIKE) Sutey who had several big runs for touchdowns and on defense had big hit after big hit. The weather conditions made it hard to throw the ball, but sure handed Lucas Rosas made up for it on the defensive side of the ball making lots of tackles and getting an interception with a nice return. Defensively the Cowboys played hard and did not give up many yards. Defensive standouts include, Keith “KJ” Meagor, who did not leave the field, playing every snap on offense and defense. Matthew Wold and Hank Butala held down the defensive end positions, while KJ, Benny Bartholomew, Easton Hand, and William Hooker plugged up the middle. The Cowboys linebackers played both the run and pass very well, led by Nicholas Daly, Dawson Hotalen, August Sutey, Lucas Rosas. Rounding out the defense was Daxon Dennehy, Baize Kinsey and Rylie Little playing Corner. Tripp Johnston played great all year at Free Safety and he continued that Tuesday night.
Offensively included lots of big plays from August Sutey, Matthew Wold, Daxon Dennehy, and Rylie Little. Weather kept the Cowboys from throwing, which is their motive of operation, but the O-Line did a wonderful job of creating big holes that a truck could drive through. The O-Line was led by KJ Meagor, Benny Bartholomew, Charles Lull (great game), Easton Hand, Sean Stebbins and William Hooker. Also rounding out the offense was Lucas Rosas, Rylie little, Seth Lundin, and Hank Butala. Seth had a great year at receiver and Hank played both quarterback and receiver. Sean Stebbins did great at O-Line granted he was undersized, but filled in because of a need and played very well.
The Cowboys got better and better each week and were a fun team to watch. Look forward to see these young men in the future!!!

Lisac’s Tire Raiders
Raiders Jamboree Recap: A Night of Effort, Excellence, and Team Spirit
The Raiders wrapped up a thrilling 3-game jamboree filled with standout performances, resilient teamwork, and moments that reflected the character and determination of this group.
Before diving into the games, a special acknowledgment goes to Marcos Duran, who continued to support his team despite suffering a season-ending injury. His presence and dedication speak volumes about the kind of teammate and individual he is — a true class act.
Game 1: Raiders vs. Dolphins
In a tightly contested matchup, the Raiders edged out the Dolphins with strong performances on both sides of the ball. The defensive line, anchored by Kooper Conway, JayD Tinsley, and Brantley LeCoure, consistently disrupted the Dolphins’ offensive rhythm. On the outside, Elijah McBride and Avi Masters applied relentless pressure, helping shut down key plays.
Offensively, Mason Ferko connected with Blake Christiaens for a precision-thrown touchdown. A highlight moment came when Pierce Collins secured a spectacular one-handed interception, setting up Jens Nikolaisen for a rushing touchdown that gave the Raiders momentum.
Game 2: Raiders vs. Bills
The Raiders came up short against the Bills in a game filled with pivotal moments. Jay Perry delivered a key interception to halt a promising Bills drive, while Liam Blue anchored the opposite side of the secondary, forcing opposing quarterbacks to look away from his side of the field.
Pierce Collins continued his impressive showing with a long run and a forced fumble that, unfortunately, went out of bounds. On the final play of the game, Mason again found Blake for a big gain, but he was tackled just one yard shy of the end zone — a dramatic end to a hard-fought contest.
Game 3: Raiders vs. Packers
Arguably the most exciting game of the night, the Raiders faced a high-scoring Packers team with outstanding defensive effort. The secondary — Addie Bumgarner, Lucas Beddie, and Michael Halvorsen — held firm, allowing only one pass over three yards, a testament to their disciplined coverage and communication.
An injury to Jens Nikolaisen forced the team to make quick adjustments. Reese Lyndes stepped up in a major way, playing both wide receiver and fullback. His physical, determined runs kept the offense alive and provided crucial momentum throughout the game.
Mason Ferko added to the excitement with a breakaway rushing touchdown, keeping the Raiders within striking distance. After the Packers took the lead off a late interception, Mason once again led the offense down the field. A clutch pass to Pierce Collins and a key block from Blake Christiaens brought the ball to the 4-yard line. In a dramatic goal-line stand, the Packers’ defense ultimately held on to secure the win.
Gratitude & Looking Ahead
To all the players, coaches, and parents — thank you for your commitment and support throughout the season. While the jamboree marks the end of this chapter, it’s just the beginning for many of these talented young athletes.
