OCA blasts the Rockets
The Oklahoma Christian Academy Eagles got their second win of the season Friday night in convincing fashion, plowing through the Prue Blue Rockets 32-14.
Prue could not stop star running back Parker Randell who poured in four touchdowns and 228 yards on the ground. Overall the Eagles rushing attack looked superb, tallying 356 yards on 53 carries.
The Eagles defense also dominated all night long holding Prue to -6 yards rushing for the entire game and shutting out the Rockets in the first half, Prue did not get on the board until the third when OCA already held a big lead.
The Eagles had 20 first downs on the night and held Prue to less than half that number with 9.
Freshman Chase Yager also had a big game for OCA tallying 64 yards rushing and adding 10 tackles and an interception on defense.
The Eagles will look to carry this momentum into next week against Bowlegs in the season finale.
