If Oak Hill wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Dirigo, they should've done a better job of containing Hudson Lufkin. The Cougars secured a 26-22 W over the Raiders on Saturday thanks in part to Lufkin, who rushed for 157 yards and one touchdown while picking up 9.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 135 yards and three TDs. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 102 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Tanner Bradden was another key player, gaining 120 total yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made four total tackles.
Dirigo's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB three times. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Bradden, Kaeden Swan, and Kolton Bradeen, who each picked up one sack apiece.
