NHFR TEAM OF THE WEEK
Lebanon Raiders

Lebanon appeared to be out of the playoff picture after a Week 6 loss to Windham dropped the Raiders to 3-3, but Lebanon thrust itself back into the conversation with a 7-6 victory over Plymouth on Saturday.

Ryan Milliken scored Lebanon’s touchdown on a 55-yard run. Milliken finished the game with 172 yards rushing on 29 carries. The Raiders’ one-point lead seemed to be in jeopardy late in the game, but Plymouth missed a field goal attempt with 10 seconds to play.

Lebanon held Plymouth (6-2) to one touchdown even though Plymouth fullback Garrett Macomber rushed for 259 yards on 41 carries. Macomber scored Plymouth’s TD, but the Bobcats missed the PAT.

Lebanon is the only Division II team with more than two losses that has a chance to qualify for the playoffs. The Raiders can clinch a playoff berth by winning at Bow on Saturday.
