Fruitland got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Titus Vidlak out in front who rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 187 yards and a touchdown.
Another reason for the win was Fruitland's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Leading the way was Kelvin Obot and his two. Quinn Hood was another major factor on D, making 19 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Emmett was able to grind out a solid win over Fruitland when the teams last played back in September of 2023, winning 27-14. The rematch might be a little tougher for Emmett since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
