Loachapoka's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Kj Carter, who rushed for 67 yards and one TD, and also threw for 118 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Carter's passing game has become a key predictor of the Indians' success: the team is 5-1 when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Loachapoka proved: they limited Ranburne to a paltry one yards per carry. While two picked up at least 12 total tackles, Mitchell Chenier stood above the rest. He forced one fumble and made 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss). Loachapoka didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 7.7.

Loachapoka didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Travis Andrews. Loachapoka got some further help from Chenier: he forced one fumble and made 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss).

As for Ranburne, their loss was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 3-5. Having soared to a lofty 47 points in the game before, they couldn't push the score so high this time.

Despite the defeat, Ranburne saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Aiden Whitman picked up 138 receiving yards and one touchdown. Whitman showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 55 yards.

Coming up, Loachapoka will head out to take on Pike Liberal Arts at 7:00 p.m. on the 24th. The Indians will be up against the Patriots' rather soft defense (which has allowed 37 points per matchup), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Ranburne, they will welcome Lanett at 7:00 p.m. on the 24th. The Panthers' defense has only allowed 8.1 points per game this season, so the Bulldogs' offense will have their work cut out for them.
