Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ocosta). They managed a 64-60 win over the Taholah Chitwhins on Friday.
It was another big night for Kayden Turner, who rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.7 yards per carry, and also threw for 172 yards on only ten passes. Benjamin Tackett was in the mix too, providing Ocosta with two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Ocosta was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 395 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 243 rushing yards in four consecutive games.
One reason for the win was Ocosta's imposing defensive line, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Matthew Wyland was especially locked on to Taholah's QB and sacked him twice.
Ocosta is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. As for Taholah, they dropped their record down to 2-3 with the loss, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season.
Coincidentally, the two teams will both be playing Naselle the next time they take the field. Taholah will head out to face Naselle at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, while Ocosta will host them at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
