Invaders Nation

The Invaders fought off a furious challenge by the Lanham Raiders to come away with an 18-14 victory.  After the Invaders scored first on a touchdown pass from Jerome Pearson to Jerry Pearson, the Raiders intercepted the 2-point conversion pass attempt and returned it for two points of their own to cut the Invaders' lead to 6-2.  On the Invaders' next drive, the Raiders took an 8-6 lead when they came up with an interception on their 5-yard line and returned it 95 yards for a touchdown.  Their 2-point conversion kick was no good.  The Invaders struck back with another Pearson to Pearson connection to take a 12-8 lead.  The 2-point conversion kick by George Wyatt was no good.  The Raiders answered the Invaders' score with a 50-yard touchdown strike of their own to take a 14-12 lead.  Their 2-point conversion kick attempt was blocked.  With less than two minutes left, the Invaders drove to the Raiders' 5-yard line.  Michael Hawkins came in at QB and tossed a 5-yard touchdown pass to blocking back Aaron Kinchen to give the Invaders a 18-14 lead.  The Raiders droved to the Invaders' 19 yard line, before attempting a desperation toss, that was picked off in the end zone by CB Darryl Barnett.
