The Tekamah-Herman Tigers lost 41-0 at home to Doniphan-Trumbull Friday night.
The Cardinals led 14-0 at the end of one and shutout the Tigers 14-0 in the second quarter to take a 28-0 lead into the locker room.
Doniphan-Trumbull won the third quarter 13-0 to lead 41-0 at the end of three. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter.
Luke Green had 57 yards rushing on 15 carries for Tekamah-Herman.
Ben Metzler finished with 8 tackles.
The Tigers had 118 yards of total offense, including 101 on the ground.
The defense surrendered 468 yards of offense, 282 coming on the ground.
Tekamah-Herman really struggled on both sides of the ball, but the Cardinals are a really good team.
Tekamah-Herman (1-3) is at Logan View (1-3) Friday night.
This is a battle between two teams who won their season opener, but have lost three in a row.
Head Coach Graig McElmuray says his team will look to get back to doing what worked in the season opening win. "We changed some stuff up because we faced some spread teams. And this next week we're going to get back to what we do well. And how we do things in that first game. And we're really going to get back after it. And be the team that we want to be instead of trying to let people dictate to us what we need to do. We're going to go out and play defense and dictate to them what they need to do on offense."
The Raiders lost 42-13 at Stanton last time out.
That's a game in which turnovers proved to be costly for Logan View.
Both teams have faced some pretty stiff competition since their opening season wins so it's a game of something's gotta give.
This is a pivotal district matchup for both teams with district play beginning this week.
McElmuray feels their district is up for grabs. "We have 5 games here at the end of the season, and right now our district is wide open. If you're going to take a look, Oakland-Craig is out the drivers' seat right now at 3-1 I do believe. And everybody else is down at 1-3 or 0-4 or something like that."
I would say the district is Oakland-Craig's to lose at this point, but if the Knights were to slip up against someone, then things become really interesting.
This game is really important for both teams. The winner will be in a fairly good position to make a run at the district crown while the loser will need to win out and hope for some help.
The Raiders won last year's contest 60-6.
Kickoff between the Tigers and Raiders is set for 6:30 p.m. at Logan View with pregame at 6:10 on 107.9 the Bull.
