The Red Cloud Warriors are taking a road trip to face off against the Diller-Odell Griffin at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
While Warriors fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They took their game on the road on Friday with ease, bagging a 72-26 win over Lewiston. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Warriors as it put an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Hunter Englehart had a dynamite game for Red Cloud, rushing for 104 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, while also throwing for 25 yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in rushing yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Red Cloud was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 272 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lewiston only rushed for 28.
Red Cloud's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Mason Bolin and Kayden Furr.
Meanwhile, Diller-Odell made easy work of Meridian on Friday and carried off a 47-26 win. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Griffin.
