Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Rock Creek walked away with it. They walked away with a 14-7 victory over the Cheney Cardinals on Friday. The 14-point effort marked the Mustangs' lowest-scoring game of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Rock Creek's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Zion Bell, who rushed for 113 yards and one touchdown.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Rock Creek proved: they limited Cheney to a paltry 2.4 yards per carry. The team can thank Grady Hastert for the heroic effort on defense: he. Sadly, that's becoming something of a trend for Rock Creek; they were averaging 6.7yards per carry per game earlier this season, but in their last three contests they've fallen to only 4.7 per game (which corresponds perfectly with their time in the postseason).
Rock Creek didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Noah Valburg and Jaxon Pendell.
