OMAHA - Lincoln Christian's young offense looked seasoned in the Crusaders' 26-14 season-opening win Friday afternoon at Brownell-Talbot.
First-year quarterback Andre Orduna completed 8 of 9 passes on Christian's first-half scoring drive, including a fourth-and-21 conversion. After the Crusaders had a TD called back because of a penalty, Orduna directed back-to-back scoring drives to open the third quarter.
The 5-foot-11 junior threw for three touchdowns in the game, completing 20 more than 215 yards.
"We've got some issues in the red zone to clean up, but we had the two big passing plays and we were pretty clean on offense," Christian coach Matt Farup said. "I was especially pleased with how the kids came out to start the second half."
Ben Manley, Collin Phelps and Sam Andrews caught TD passes and Andrews added a 54-yard scoring scamper on a reverse to pace the Crusaders.
Christian's defense, meanwhile, didn't allow a score until Alex Terry's sneak late in the third quarter. The Raiders added a safety and a Terry TD pass to Jack Zukaitis in the final minute.

You are bragging more than his own mother...
It's tacky for you to brag about your own son, so I'm doing it for you. I expect the same from you if my kids are ever at that level :)
