The home team had won the previous four meetings between Collinsville and Claremore, and Collinsville kept the tradition alive. The Cardinals blew past the Zebras 24-0 on Thursday. Considering the Cardinals have won five contests by more than 19 points this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Collinsville's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Talan Rush, who picked up 109 receiving yards and one score. Rush's longest reception was for an incredible 80 yards.

Collinsville pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 38.3 points over those games. As for Claremore, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-2.

Looking ahead, Collinsville is taking a road trip to square off against Pryor at 7:00 p.m. on the 24th. The Cardinals will need to watch out since the Tigers have now posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season. As for Claremore, they will welcome Memorial at 7:00 p.m. on the 24th. The Zebras will be up against the Chargers' rather soft defense (which has allowed 54.14 points per matchup), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
