The Oakland-Craig Football Team rolled Yutan 40-14 at home Friday night.
Robby Mayberry had 156 yards rushing on 19 carries, including a score. Jared Mulder was 5-11 passing for 97 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Colton Thomsen made 3 catches for 88 yards, and scored twice.
Mike Brands had 10 tackles while Tyson Harney notched 8. Caden Nelson made 7.
The Knights had 362 yards of total offense, including 250 on the ground.
The defense gave up 192 yards of total offense, including 165 rushing.
Good win for Oakland-Craig. The Knights' run defense was outstanding.
Oakland-Craig (8-0) hosts BRLD (7-1) Friday night for the C2-2 District Championship which can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Wolverines spanked Fremont Bergan 38-7 at home last week.
Oakland-Craig has to be concerned with BRLD's passing game.
The Wolverines had 223 yards passing against Bergan, and Will Gatzemeyer is a force to be reckoned with.
BRLD also had 185 yards rushing so if the Knights can take away the Wolverines' running game and make them one dimensional I feel that will be to Oakland-Craig's advantage.
I think the Knights have to focus on shutting down the run and containing Gatzemeyer.
Gatzemeyer may get his yards, but if Oakland-Craig can limit him in any way then I think it will be to their benefit.
The Knights have to match BRLD's physicality and tenacity.
You know the Wolverines want this one badly and to break through, but Oakland-Craig really wants this one as well.
The Knights have to want it more than BRLD, and come up with a way to outplay the Wolverines.
Oakland-Craig is at home so that should help.
The Knights have to be able to run the ball though.
BRLD only gave up 89 yards rushing to Bergan so rushing yards could come at a premium in this one.
Oakland-Craig is probably going to need to hit some big passes in order to come away with the win.
It should be an amazing football game....one of those games where you hate to see someone lose.
Playoff seeding factors into this game as well.
The winner will be district champs and host a first round playoff game while if the Knights lose they still could host a first round playoff game, but the Wolverines probably not.
Everything is on the line for these two teams Friday night, and it should be an incredible battle...one for the ages.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. with pregame at 6:30 on the Bull.
