The Odyssey Institute Minotaur will venture away from home to challenge the Dysart Demons at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Odyssey Institute has given up an average of 28.9 points per game this season, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Odyssey Institute's offense might be in the hot seat on Friday considering what happened against Valley Christian on Friday. They took a blow against the Trojans, falling 51-0. While getting shut out isn't ideal, the Minotaur haven't been shut out since back in September.
Meanwhile, you're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter and that's exactly how it played out for Dysart on Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that they blew Kingman out of the water with a 42-13 final score. The result was nothing new for the Demons, who have now won four games by 26 points or more so far this season.
Dysart's win came from a few key players Odyssey Institute will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Jevon Christmas, who rushed for 138 yards and two scores on only six carries, and also picked up 66 receiving yards and one TD. His longest reception was for an impressive 66 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total. Donovan Hinchey was in the mix as well, providing Dysart with two touchdowns.

Dysart didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Connor Stogner, Adam Laborin, and Frank Ramirez picked up one apiece. Ramirez is becoming a predictor of Dysart's success: when he posts at least one interception the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't). Bobby Franco was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making nine total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Dysart has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-4 record this season.
