Patrick Daugherty had 143 rushing yards on 23 carries prior to Greene County’s Homecoming football game on Friday night. All the senior did on Friday was run for 234 yards on 26 carries and three touchdowns, all career bests. Behind an offense line that opened holes, and a hard-nosed running style, Daugherty helped the Rams to a 30-22 victory over Des Moines Christian at Linduska Field in Jefferson.

Greene County put up 354 rushing yards and 409 total yards, both season highs as Coach Caden Duncan’s team improved to 3-1 on the season and 1-0 in Class 2A District 8.

Up next is Clarinda on Sept. 23 at Linduska Field. The Cardinals are also 1-0 in the district after a 28-7 win over previously unbeaten and top 10 rated Clarke (Osceola). Friday’s game can be heard on KG98 and streamed on www.raccoonvalleyradio.com with coverage at 6:20 p.m. and kickoff at 7 o’clock.
