Don't run the ball... Pass it 40 times and keep the QB mobile so he does not take big hits and you take ruin Homecoming for the Vikings. Oakes has some kids that can hit and cause a turnover but I don't see the Kindred backs put the ball on the ground. Also Oakes needs to find a way to keep the Kindred Line from getting to next level on their blocks...
I am sure Oakes also wants to make a statement after last year getting destroyed on their home field so that will also play a factor. Kindreds JV will not be playing the second half of this game.

I don't think anyone projected coming into the year that it would be Oakes and Kindred for the region but that Oakes team is real deal. QB throws a good ball and stands tall in the pocket, good at the skills positions, physical at RB, and generate a lot of turnovers. My only question is how good really are they up front? Insert Kindred. Great up front, really good defensively, and can run the ball at will. My only question is if you are able to hold on long enough upfront and throw the ball on them, can they reciprocate and keep up offensively in a higher scoring game?
We should get both of those questions answered this week. I know that whatever happens, neither one is a 2 seed in the region I would want to play in the playoffs. The winner has to be the favorite out east (and probably the state) to make it to a state championship. I think that Kindred shuts down Oakes run game and when they become one dimensional they get to the QB enough to win. They grind out the clock on offense and play keep away. Kindred at home by a score of 22 to 14. Oakes needs to move the ball, generate a turnover or two, and hit on their big plays. If they can do this (especially early) I like their chances to upset the champs. I predict that if they stay healthy, both of these teams are in the semi-finals at the end of the season.

maddog1971 wrote:far from a cheap shot. It was a football play, QB jumped to throw and Sunram helmet hit his helmet and Sunram pushed him. Was it late... NOPE. I have watched it six times in slow mo and it was not late. But for sure helmet to helmet. It was to bad the QB got hurt. Nobody wanted to see that happen. Oakes has a good team but they do not have the line to compete for a state title. Oakes Coaches need to get their kids trash talking under control. I get football is an emotional game and needs to be played with emotion.
