CROSBY - Justin Edmundson intercepted a pass and recovered two fumbles to help the Crosby-Ironton Rangers improve to 3-0 with Friday's 21-13 victory over the Greenway.
C-I quarterback Phil Kuhlmann scored two rushing touchdowns from 10 and 20 yards out and Nathan Hudrlik rumbled 28 yards for a touchdown run.
Greenway outgained C-I 307-230 and ran off 24 more plays, but turnovers prevented the Raiders from scoring any more than Dylan Peterson's two touchdown runs.
"They had five turnovers and we had some big defensive plays when we needed them," said Ranger head coach Mike Gindorff. "We're playing this one week at a time. So we've had three straight 1-0 weeks, but we start all over on Monday."
Brady Hallin recovered a fumble and Mark Hoge, who was held to just 1 yard of offense, had an interception.
Matthew Hudrlik rushed for 55 yards and caught three passes for 54 yards. Kuhlmann threw for 79 yards on 5-of-13 passing. He also rushed for 36 yards.
