The Oakland-Craig Football Team won 44-14 at home over Crofton in the 1st round of the Playoffs Friday night.
The Knights led 14-0 at the end of the 1st quarter, and outscored the Warriors 16-7 in the 2nd quarter to take a 30-7 lead into the locker room.
Oakland-Craig shutout Crofton 14-0 in the 3rd quarter to go up 44-7 at the end of three.
The Warriors put up 7 points in the 4th quarter to make up the final score.
Coulter Thiele ran the ball 4 times for 150 yards, and scored twice. Grady Gatewood was 6-8 passing for 183 yards with three touchdowns. Thiele also hauled in 2 passes for 65 yards, and scored once.
Caden Nelson made 11 tackles while Mike Brands had 10. Trey Deemer added 8.
The Knights racked up 405 yards of total offense, including 222 on the ground.
Great job by Oakland-Craig of winning and taking care of business against Crofton Friday night.
The Knights (8-1) battle Hartington Cedar Catholic (8-2) on the road Friday night in the State Quarterfinals in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Trojans shutout Bridgeport 21-0 on the road on Friday.
Oakland-Craig routed Cedar Catholic 52-14 at home on October 9th.
The Knights look to do much of the same Friday night.
I feel like Oakland-Craig will win this one, I just don't know by how much.
I think it could be like a 24-point game or something like that, being as it is the second time these two teams are meeting and often times the second meeting is closer if the first meeting is a blowout.
The Knights could thoroughly dominate once again though.
The game is in Hartington, however, so I think that helps the Trojan cause.
I still look for Oakland-Craig to win and face either David City Aquinas or Ord next Friday night in the Semifinals.
I think best case scenario for the Knights is win and host the Monarchs next week.
Not that going out to Ord and winning isn't doable, but I think Oakland-Craig would rather play at home against a familiar opponent than on the road in unchartered territory against an unknown team.
Ord would be at home if they beat 10th seeded Aquinas as they are the 2 seed in the playoffs and the Knights are the 3 seed.
Friday night's game is scheduled to kickoff at 7:00 with pregame getting underway at 6:30 on the Bull.
