North Oldham 41 South Oldham 38 OT

[Mustang Nation]

This one played out about as predicted.

Could South handle the North ground game and could North handle the South air attack.

Answer ?... neither team had one to stop the other.

From the first series you knew this was going to be a game of who has the ball last wins and that's about how it played out.

 

Plenty of room for critique on both sides of the ball but forget about that. This is a hard core rivalry game that's worth far more than the five bucks the fans paid to see it. Intense, hard fought and nothing held back.

 

Congratulations to the 5-0 Mustangs.

How is the Evans kid? Heard that he went down with a ankle injury?

[Mustang Nation]

Navajo,

 

The consensus Friday night was badly sprained but no ligament damage. Let's hope so. He has be plagued with health issues in the past.

The good news is that North has a Bye week so Zack can have two weeks to recover and actually three if needed as our opponent after the bye is Waggener which North should be able to take care of without needing Zack in the line up if need be.

 

Zach's junior brother Jake should be back by then as well coming off a knee injury. Not quite the blazing speed of Zack but bigger and a great asset none the less.

 

The biggest test of the season comes after Waggener in district foe Collins.

Zach broke his ankle and is out for the season having surgery I think this week.

Congrats to North, must have been a great game to watch, hope Zach heals up quickly.

[Navajo4life]

That's horrible news on the kid, hoping and praying that he will make a strong comeback... This will hurt North Oldham going forward into the playoffs, especially against Collins..

[Mustang Nation]

I have not confirmed the bad news but it appears to not be good for sure.

The North running talent is deep but you cannot replace that kind of talent and speed.

North most definitely does have the depth to continue winning and to make a run deep into the playoffs.

 

It will however require the entire team to step up and do their jobs better.

[DYLANDOLL]

Team play is one of North's strongest points in my opinion, I bet they pull together pretty good.

[Navajo4life]

Not saying it cannot be done, just saying that this hurts North Oldhams depth at running back and you should agree, you cannot replace a Zach Evans....

[Governor Jake]

North Oldham Stangs will not get past my Titans from Collins.

Tough luck for North - on the other hand, the Mustangs have three other backs who would be the primary back for most teams... they lose the top breakaway threat on the team, but the way they block, they should be OK...plus, they still have five games prior to the post-season to adjust...

[Governor Jake]

Colonel Mike, you are right the Stangs still have five games to adjust before playoffs. They of course will be entering the playoffs as a second or third seed.
