Steven Heise was his usual excellent self, rushing for 180 yards and three scores on only eight carries. Those 180 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Oil City proved: they limited Franklin to a paltry 1.6 yards per carry. The team can thank Blake Stevens for the heroic effort on defense: he. Oil City didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 13.2.
Oil City's defense didn't let Jayden Wilmoth, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for three sacks. In that department, Brayden Buzard was the leader with two. He has been hot, having also posted six or more total tackles the last six times he's played.
Meanwhile, you can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Corry's strategy against Harbor Creek on Friday. The Beavers blew past the Huskies 28-7. 28 seems to be a good number for the Beavers as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of points in their previous game.
A big part of Corry's victory came down to the chemistry between Deion Canady and his top target Keaton Frisina. Canady rushed for 73 yards and one touchdown on only eight carries while Frisina picked up 57 receiving yards and one TD.
Corry didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off four passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Frisina, Blake Cook, Connor Sterling, and Marcus Meredith picked up one apiece.
Oil City's record is now 8-1. As for Corry, their record now sits at 7-2.
Oil City came up short against Corry in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, falling 26-21.
