In their previous meeting,
Friend delivered
Diller-Odell a punishing 36 - 14 defeat. While not characterized by quite the same dominating performance, the rematch ultimately ended up the same way. Friend claimed a 20 - 8 victory over Diller-Odell.
Diller-Odell got off to a sluggish start, posting zero total points in the first half. That put it down 14 - 0. Even though the defense held Friend to six points in the second half, the team still couldn't find a way to get out on top.
Friend can chalk up much of its success to the efforts of junior Edwen Baptista, who ran for 199 yards and also punched in one touchdown.
The win lifted Friend to 5-1. The defeat dropped Diller-Odell's record to 5-1.
The two teams have their sights set on raising those records in their upcoming games. Diller-Odell will look to defend its home turf against Lourdes Central Catholic this Friday. Meanwhile, Friend will battle it out against Weeping Water on Friday.
