On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Norland's defense and their three sacks. Tycoolhill Luman was especially locked on to Central's QB and sacked him twice.
Central's loss dropped their record down to 8-4. As for Norland, they have yet to lose a contest at home this season, leaving them with a 13-0 record.
