Elijiah Oehlke Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Elijiah Oehlke was instrumental in extending Trinity Christian's winning streak to seven on Friday. Oehlke was excellent, throwing for 222 yards and five touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.1 passing touchdowns per game. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played.
GRACE Christian's probably not too fond of Oehlke given he always seems to get the better of them. When Oehlke last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 98 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.9% of his passes.
