Oakmont's game on Friday was all tied up 13-13 at the half, but luckily for them it didn't stay that way. They slipped by the Center Cougars 27-26. The Vikings have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Cougars, too.
A big part of Oakmont's victory came down to the chemistry between Elijah Stevens and his top target Ocean Mu?oz. Stevens threw for 293 yards and four touchdowns while completing 84.6% of his passes while Mu?oz picked up 167 receiving yards and three TDs.
Oakmont's defense made their presence known, laying out Sincere Howard three times. Wyatt Esteban refused to say out of the backfield, picking up 1.5 sacks all by himself. Josh Brill was another major factor on D, picking up 0.5 sacks and making seven total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Center's loss came despite a true team effort from the offense with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Howard, who rushed for 74 yards and one score, and also threw for 141 yards and one touchdown. The Cougars' leading receiver Wisdom Howard was Sincere's top target yet again, picking up 88 receiving yards and one TD.
