Skip to main contentYou have permission to edit this article.EditWelcome,HomeNews &amp; EventsSportsLifestyleObituariese-EditionsClassifiedsContestsFollow UsRaleigh handled business in an orderly fashion Friday night in the first round of the MSHAA Class 2A playoffs.The Lions forced a running clock in the second half en route to a 44-13 win over North Forrest.Head coach Ryan Higdon praised his teams’ play on both sides of the ball.“We’ve been pretty solid defensively all season,” said Higdon. “And offensively, we’ve gotten better."Going into district, we were struggling offensively, but our defense was playing well and keeping us in ball games. We finally found a groove offensively. So far, we've carried it through from the first district game to the first round tonight."Raleigh totaled 285 yards of offense on 37 plays. Of the 285 yards, 230 came on the ground. Kyvryn Moncrief and Deuce Carter led the rushing attack with 200 yards and four touchdowns between them."Those two guys do not like to be tackled," said Higdon. "You have Moncrief, a three-year starter, and Carter has come in after the injury to C.J. [Moncrief]. He's stepped up and gotten better week after week."Moncrief finished with 118 yards on eight carries and two touchdowns — 79 of those yards came on one play in the third quarter. He finished the drive with a touchdown one play later from a yard out to start a running clock in the contest.Carter carried the ball seven times for 82 yards and two touchdowns. Carter's runs early in the game set up a quick 14-0 lead for the Lions.“We sneak Eli Eason in there when folks start focusing on the other two guys,” said Higdon. “All those guys have come a long way and have gotten better and better each week. That’s important for us going forward.”Eason also had a touchdown in the contest.Raleigh’s defense recorded 15 tackles for loss in the win. Higdon said his team’s defense has been the one constant all season."The way our defense plays, if we can get something going offensively, then have pretty good nights," said Higdon. "Our defense swarms to the football, and our coaches do a great job of getting our kids ready."North Forrest scored a touchdown on a Hail Mary of sorts on the final play of the first half and another score late in the contest.Raleigh (9-2) will host Clarkdale in the second round next Friday night."Clarkdale will be a very disciplined team," said Higdon. "They'll play hard. Coach Brannan does a really good job over there. But we have to focus on us. We feel like we're our biggest enemy right now. We make mistakes and do things that shoot ourselves in the foot. Those are the things we'll work on this week. We're in the playoffs, but you must get your guys better each week."by TradingView
