OCEAN CITY – The Red Raider football team ran around, over and through the Hammonton Blue Devils Thursday night in a 24-0 home win. 

Spearheaded by running back Jacob Wilson, who visited the end zone twice, Ocean City moved to 2-0 on the young season. 

Dominant in the trenches, the Red Raiders made life easy for Wilson and quarterback Riley Gunnels, who had his own rushing touchdown.

Kicker Brendan McGonigle hits three extra points and a field goal to complete the scoring. 

Ocean City will look to keep rolling next Friday when the Red Raiders host the Absegami Braves at 6 p.m.
