In their previous meeting, Odem delivered Taft a punishing 51 - 20 defeat. This time around? Just more of the same. Odem had all the answers against Taft, winning 34 - 10. Odem struggled to find the scoreboard the game before, so the high-scoring effort was a welcome change of pace.
Odem's defense put the team in a good position heading into the break, holding Taft to a measly two points. That gave them a 6 - 2 advantage at the half. Odem's success only continued in the second half, where it racked up an additional 28 points.
Odem can chalk up much of its success to the efforts of junior Jackson Bueno, who ran for 169 yards and also punched in three touchdowns.
The win bumped Odem's record up to 2-3. The defeat makes it one more game for Taft (0-5) without a win.
The two teams have their sights set on raising those records in their upcoming games. Taft will battle it out against Mathis on Friday at 7:30 PM. After another low point total this last game, Taft has fallen into a real scoring funk its past three games; hopefully the team can find some way to reach the end zone more consistently. As for Odem, it will square off against Skidmore-Tynan this Friday at 7:30 PM.
