Nokomis and Mt. Olive meet up on Friday this week after opposite experiences in their previous matchups. Mt. Olive scooted by Metro-East Lutheran/Madison last week with a score of 26 - 8. Meanwhile, Nokomis had a rough outing against South Fork/Edinburg/Morrisonville last week, losing 36 - 0.
Mt. Olive got an early lead and maintained it, starting each quarter with an advantage. Senior running back Jonathon Darrah really separated himself from the pack -- literally. He rushed for 201 yards to give Mt. Olive a significant boost. The win lifted Mt. Olive to 2-4.
Nokomis's low-scoring loss was the unsatisfying follow-up to its high-scoring outing the game before. The yardage discrepancy really told the tale: Nokomis's 137 total yards paled in comparison to South Fork/Edinburg/Morrisonville's 444. The loss dropped Nokomis's record to 2-4.
Both Nokomis and Mt. Olive have been struggling on the defensive side of the ball (the former allowing an average of 38 points per game, the latter an average of 28.5 points per game). We'll find out which offense can take advantage of this fact when the two teams meet this week.
