They were just one part of a punishing run game: Okeechobee was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 292 rushing yards. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 67 rushing yards per game earlier this season, but in their last five contests they've averaged 263.7.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Okeechobee's defense and their 4.5 sacks. Bayside's QB won't forget John Immerfall anytime soon given he sacked him 2.5 times. Nathan Pfennig was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, making seven total tackles, and defending one pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Meanwhile, Jensen Beach lost to Central on the road by a 32-18 margin on Friday. The matchup marked the Falcons' lowest-scoring game so far this season.
