Last Friday, Ohatchee made easy work of Glencoe and carried off a 46-21 win. Considering the Indians have won three contests by more than 24 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Ohatchee's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Nate Jones, who rushed for 211 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.1 yards per carry.
