Burden has been a consistent playmaker for Medicine Lodge as this was the 5th good game in a row from him.
Meanwhile, it was all tied up at the half for Udall and Argonia/Attica, but Udall stepped up in the second half. Udall were able to grind out a solid win over Argonia/Attica, winning 22-14. The success represented a nice turnaround for Udall, who in their last game suffered a tough 0-36 defeat.
Udall's win lifted them to 4-1 while Medicine Lodge's defeat dropped them down to 3-2. In their win, Udall relied heavily on senior Josh Fielder, who rushed for 133 yards and 3 touchdowns. Medicine Lodge will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
