Amazing Dominant and great win for Oakland-Craig
Oakland-Craig (7-0) takes on Fremont Bergan (7-0) at home Friday night.
Bergan won 63-0 at home over Tekamah-Herman last week.
These two teams are number one and two in power points in Class C-2, and this game will decide the District.
This is the first of what could very well be two meetings this season.
I wouldn't be surprised if these two teams met up in the playoffs again, perhaps at Memorial Stadium for the State Championship depending on the playoff bracket.
This is one of those games where Oakland-Craig has to come out and jump out to a big lead on Bergan and make it so they don't know what hit them.
So Oakland-Craig has to come out and essentially blitz Bergan so to speak.
If O-C can come out and play one of their macho man juggernaut dominate from start to finish games then they should be able to walk away with a big victory and claim the District Title.
It won't be easy though as Bergan is a great Football Team and is having a spectacular season themselves.
It should be one great game and a heck of a contest so it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
If I had to guess I would say Oakland-Craig prevails being at home and everything, but you never know.
