Oakdale rushes for 10 touchdowns on the night. Running back @Richard50069828 explains to @Recordnet why Oakdale’s Wing-T offense keeps defenses off balance.

After the win, Air Force commit and Oakdale running back @BurfordWes12 reflects on his seven-touchdown performance. He admitted he didn’t know he had scored seven until @Recordnet told him.

FINAL. Oakdale defeats @euhsfootball25 71-55. Running back @BurfordWes12 scores seven, @Richard50069828 adds three, and East Union’s @Jackson_Fay15 answers with five touchdowns in the high-scoring shootout. Oakdale 71, East Union 55.

FAY’S FIFTH TD! 💥 Wide receiver @Jackson_Fay15 finds the end zone again, but Oakdale rises on defense. But, Oakdale cornerback Beau Kesterson breaks up the pass on the two-point conversion, keeping it a two score game. Oakdale 64, East Union 55.

Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five — six!🔥 Running back @BurfordWes12 breaks free for a 30-yard score and adds his second two-point conversion of the game. Oakdale 64, East Union 49.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?😳 Quarterback @KirkSimoni finds wide receiver Daniel Grijalva for a 27-yard touchdown. The Lancers are now just seven points behind. Oakdale 56, East Union 49.
