The Oakland-Craig Football Team was dominate in their season opener against Crofton Friday night, winning 32-6 at home.
Sophomore Jaron Meyer carried the ball 18 times for 113 yards and scored a touchdown. Jared Mulder was 8-13 for 82 yards passing.
Caden Nelson made a team-high 10 tackles while Ian Lundquist had 7.
The Knights amassed 263 yards of total offense, including 181 rushing.
Very strong performance on both sides of the ball from Oakland-Craig. I was very impressed with the Knights.
Oakland-Craig (1-0) takes on Hartington Cedar Catholic (0-1) on the road Friday night.
The Trojans were thumped 48-22 at BRLD this past Friday night.
Hartington Cedar Catholic may have been dominated by the Wolverines, but you can bet they will be hungry and motivated against the Knights Friday night.
Oakland-Craig has to come out ready to play, and can't take the Trojans lightly at all.
Oakland-Craig has already proven they are a strong, solid team this season with their season opening win, but the Knights will need to play just as well if not better in this one than they did in the first game of the season.
Meyer and Mulder need to have big games offensively, and the defense has to swarm to the football.
Oakland-Craig needs all 11 guys flying to the football and making plays.
The Knights have shown they are a great team, and I look for them to go into Hartington and come away with a victory.
It's hard to fathom the Trojans starting 0-2, but it's a record Hartington Cedar Catholic is staring right in the face.
You can bet the Trojans will play with a sense of urgency and purpose Friday night, and so Oakland-Craig has to be ready to smack Hartington Cedar Catholic in the mouth.
The Knights have to weather any and all storms the Trojans throw their way, and find a way to make big plays.
3rd down conversions will be critical in this one I feel as will the passing game.
I feel Oakland-Craig is a little more dynamic in the passing game, and that's where I give the Knights the edge.
The teams could very well be about even in the running game, up front, and in overall athleticism, but I feel the aerial attack of Oakland-Craig will be the difference in this one.
Being 2-0 heading into the Ponca game next week would be really big for this program.
We'll see if the Knights can get the job done Friday night.
