Oakland-Craig Blasts Omaha Brownell-Talbot in First Round of Playoffs

The Oakland-Craig Knights took on Omaha Brownell-Talbot last Friday in the first round of football playoffs. O-C easily handled Brownell-Talbot, defeating them 40-7.

“The guys did a great job of coming out and setting the tone. We were able to score on our first three possessions and that really got us off to a good start,” Joe Anderson, OC Head Football Coach stated. “OBT really loaded the box and tried to stop our running game, we were able to connect on some shots down the field that softened them up, which allowed us to get our running game going.”

This Friday night, Oakland-Craig takes on Gibbon at 6:30 p.m. in Gibbon.

“This week we will need a great week of preparation. Gibbon has big physical line (average 260 pounds) and potential all-state caliber kids at the QB, RB, and WR positions. The boys are excited for the challenge, and we are looking forward to the road trip out there,” Anderson said.

Go Knights!!
