Carr’s raiders fall short of expectations, succumb to RiSeN! in 100.22-65.40 drubbing

There's no way around it, Carr’s raiders underdelivered, at least according to projections, as RiSeN! rolled to a 100.22-65.40 victory. Carr’s raiders took an 8.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all RiSeN! after that. They were led by Micah Parsons (12.25 points) and Russell Wilson (11.77). Jalen Hurts (243 Pass Yds, 90 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (8 Rec, 64 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did everything they could for Carr’s raiders in the loss. RiSeN! (1-0) will look to rack up another W against Red Raiders, while Carr’s raiders (0-1) take on The Ga(y)iders in an effort to get their first win.
