The Caddo Bruins will head out to square off against the Keota Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Caddo knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past seven matchups -- so hopefully Keota likes a good challenge.
On Thursday, Caddo took their game with ease, bagging a 55-8 victory over Savanna. The Bruins' offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the game anyway.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Caddo to victory, but perhaps none more so than Cale Wigington, who threw for 124 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 48 yards and one TD. Bayler Black was another key back, gaining 84 total yards and three touchdowns.
Caddo's run defense was locked in: Savanna could only muster 1.4 yards per carry. The team can thank Noah Dry for the heroic effort on defense: he. Caddo didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 11.5.
Special teams also played a big role in the game for Caddo, adding 13 points to the final score. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Jake McKay, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.
