ARAPAHOE - The Arapahoe football team had a physical challenge in its season opener and passed with flying colors as it completed a 36-12 triumph over Arcadia-Loup City Friday night.

Trenton Roskop scored three touchdowns rushing and Will Shaw, who led the team with 128 yards on the ground, added another. ALC struck first, scoring in the game’s opening minutes to take a 6-0 lead. The Warriors answered back a few minutes later on a Roskop 4-yard touchdown run. The 2-point conversion put Arapahoe up 8-6 through a quarter. The second quarter was a slog until Arapahoe struck again just before halftime as Roskop again scored from four yards out and the Warriors led 14-6 at the break. Arapahoe grabbed firm control of the contest in the third quarter. The Warriors drove for a touchdown, scoring on a short touchdown run from Shaw, then two minutes later, added the exclamation point when Roskop reached pay dirt from 36 yards out, putting Arapahoe up 28-6.
