It was pretty much ditto marks for the night cap as Oran raced out to a 31-0 first quarter lead and expanded that to 40 - zip at half-time.

The 8th grade squad also improved to 2-0 and 4-0, repsectively.
After the games Coach Shoemaker said, "I thought both teams did a good job of taking care of business last night. Sometimes, in a lopsided game, it is hard to stay focused and sharp and I felt that both groups were able to keep their intensity up."
The junior high boys will be back in action this evening when they host non-conference rival Bell City at 6 pm. The 7th grade will play 4 quarters and the 8th will only play 2.
