Nixa had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They took down the Helias Crusaders 45-28 on Friday. The Eagles' win was nothing new given the team hasn't lost yet this season.

That's the most rushing yards McKnight has posted since back in September. Jayden McCaster helped out on the ground, rushing for 135 yards and two rushing touchdowns.
