Freeman's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Logan Schultz, who threw for 214 yards and three TDs. The Scotties' leading receiver Daniel Smith was Schultz's top target yet again, picking up 68 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Another reason for the win was Freeman's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Cooper Florence, Jordan Grover, and Noah Baker, who each picked up one sack apiece.
Meanwhile, Okanogan's rock-solid defense showed up for the team's third consecutive shutout on Friday. They never let Reardan get on the board and left with a 24-0 win.
This one was won in the trenches and the lion's share of the credit has to go to Tatum Gunn and Wesley Allen. Gunn rushed for 219 yards and two scores while picking up 9.5 yards per carry while Allen rushed for 134 yards and one TD on only eight carries. Allen really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.

Sadly, that's becoming something of a trend for Okanogan; they were averaging 65.5%completion percentage earlier this season, but in their last three matchups they've fallen to only 0%.
Freeman's record is now 9-2. As for Okanogan, their record now sits at an identical 9-2.
