Fort nice opening drive. OP returns favor w 60yd run on first play from scrimmage
And then Fenner w 100yd kickoff return

Oak Park roster is loaded w sophs and juniors. C5 team to beat next year in KC?

OP old school smash mouth and options.
Men e to Fenner 50yd td

Wasn’t expecting an offensive battle on this frigid night. OP runs 80yds on a few plays.
They really need to work on kicking game. Missed 2 extra points and elected to not kick field goal early from 5

I think both teams better keep scoring. Neither has shown the ability to stop the other. OP runs that option so well and Fort's o-line is playing well. Proably come down to a turnover.

Blocked punt return for td

Fort has resembled the team some of us thought they were preseason over the last month. Coaches opened up offensive playbook and gotten passing game going. SEMO bound Menne is looking great at QB. Fenner involved more and Peppers is a star. Defense doing what they did last year and really turning it up a notch after halftimes.
GV will be the third rematch in these playoffs and will be very tough.

Kearney now appears to be the team that awakened the expected deep running Fort O and Smithville. For a first year will definitely take it, though. Almost the whole team back next year. Congrats and good luck to Fort!

Like last season Fort seems to be peaking at the right time. I think their offensive line play has improved a bunch and thats opening up the passing game. Menne also looks healthier and is more of a threat to run. I thought Fort made some nice defensive adjustments at halftime last night.

Should be a great one Friday night.....GV will be motivated for sure.
