Oakland-Craig Falls to Battle Creek

The Oakland-Craig Knights traveled to Battle Creek Friday night for what ended up being a very tough game for the Knights.

Battle Creek is ranked #2 and with a good reason as they dominated the Knights on both ends of the ball.

The Knights only scored one touchdown in four quarters of play, coming in the second quarter on a 43 yard  pass from Cody Mace to Michael Fischer.

Nick Arlt led the way on the defense with 11 tackles followed by Conner Thiele with 10.

With two games under their belt, the Knights are 1-1.

They take on the Tekamah-Herman Tigers this Friday night at 7:00 p.m. in Oakland.
