Royalton is winning the field-position battle; it forced another LP-A turnover, along with a Raiders punt out of their own end zone, and produced a pair of touchdowns drives that started in LP-A territory.  Zach Lanners continues to be the story for the Royals - he caught a 60-yard touchdown pass on third-and-24, and now has 118 yards on the ground, most of them after contact with a defender.

Meanwhile, the Raider offense just can’t get out of its own way; they’ve turned the ball over five times, and never seem to be on the field long enough to get into a groove.  And now, as the third quarter ends, they have put together a few first downs, but it would appear that it’ll be too late.

Timing-wise, the Orono-Northfield semifinal in Class 4A is scheduled to start at 12:45 p.m.; barring running time in the fourth quarter of this one, it looks like we might just be slightly behind for that kickoff.
