Oasis Christian had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell 20-12 to the City of Life Christian Academy Warriors. Despite 61 more yards than the Warriors, the Lions couldn't convert that extra yardage to scores.
Oasis Christian's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Nate Gross, who rushed for 105 yards and one touchdown on only 12 carries, and Brandon Earls, who picked up 56 receiving yards and one TD. Earls' longest reception was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
Even if they lost, Oasis Christian's defense still kept up the pressure with three sacks. Aron Wolfson refused to say out of the backfield, picking up 1.5 sacks all by himself. Another thorn in City of Life Christian Academy's side was Steven Chase, who picked up 0.5 sacks and made 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
City of Life Christian Academy's win bumped their record up to 2-0.
