With a playoff win on the line, Tipton rose to the challenge on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Wabash Apaches 48-13. The result was nothing new for the Blue Devils, who have now won five contests by 29 points or more so far this season.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Tipton to victory, but perhaps none more so than Zane I. Durham, who rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns. I. Durham really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run. Quinn Tolle was another key player, having thrown for 268 yards and two touchdowns.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Tipton proved: they limited Wabash to a paltry 3.1 yards per carry. The team can thank I. Durham for the heroic effort on defense: he. Tipton's run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed 4.2 yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed 7.43 on average over their last five games.

Tipton didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Izayah Mahaney and I. Durham.

Despite the defeat, Wabash had strong showings from Davon Osborn, who picked up 141 receiving yards and one score, and Haiden McWhirt, who threw for 163 yards and one TD. The Apaches are 2-1 when Osborn posts 100 or more receiving yards, but 0-7 otherwise.

Tipton is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 41.3 points over those games. As for Wabash, their loss dropped their record down to 2-8.

Coming up, Tipton will square off against Eastern at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Comets' defense has only allowed 14.7 points per game this season, so the Blue Devils' offense will have their work cut out for them. Wabash does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
