The Lewis & Clark-Our Redeemer’s football team shut out New Town on the road August 31st, 19-0.

Neither side scored in the first half, but the Bombers came alive in the third quarter when Dalton Njos found the end zone on a 14-yard run.

Austin Lee made good on a 50-yard pass reception from Christian Olson for the team’s second touchdown of the night.

In the fourth quarter, Mitchel White ran the ball over the goal line on a 35-yard rush. He finished the game with 177 yards in 14 rushes.
