Sep. 2—Twin Valley's backfield tandem of Evan Johnson and Drew Engle put up another strong performance on Friday night as the Raiders defeated Lower Dauphin 24-21 in a non-league football matchup.

Johnson finished with 185 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, while Engle rushed 15 times for 190 rushing yards and one touchdown for Twin Valley (2-0).

A 3-yard touchdown run by Carter Buton pulled the Falcons (1-1) within three points with 4:12 left, but Twin Valley was able to prevent Lower Dauphin from getting any closer.

Johnson scored his first touchdown in the first quarter on a 49-yard run and Engle scored in the second on a 2-yard score. Johnson broke a 14-14 tie with a 3-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

A 36-yard field goal from Sam Frey in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference for the Raiders.
