Shawnee was not the first on the board on Friday, but they got there more often. They managed a 13-7 victory over the Elida Bulldogs. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Indians also won the last time the pair played back in August of 2024.
Jj Spyker looked great while leading his team to the win, rushing for 124 yards and one touchdown, while also throwing for 152 yards and one TD.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Shawnee proved: they limited Elida to a paltry 1.5 yards per carry. The Indians' ground attack was stronger, having averaged 4.5.
