Titans one step closer to championship game

Playing on a neutral field at Gonzaga Prep in Spokane last Saturday, the O-H Titans continued their trek toward the Tacoma Dome and the championship game in eight-man 1B football by defeating and eliminating Almira/Coulee-Hartline. The Titans prevailed, 60-28.

After a rocky first quarter in which ACH had the Titans down by eight points, the O-H team buckled down, shutting out the Warriors during the next two quarters.

Coach Jeff Nelson named Lukas Marshall the Athlete of the Week. Defensively, Marshall shut down ACH’s running game, while at the same time pressuring the quarterback throughout the game in passing situations. While playing nose guard, he also nabbed an interception deep in Warrior territory, thus setting up a short offensive drive. On offense, he blocked well, making it possible for three Titan running backs to gain over 100 yards each on the ground.

The Titans will play Sunnyside Christian this Saturday, November 26, in Moses Lake at 1 p.m.

Odessa Air will sponsor a pregame tailgating party beginning at 11:45 a.m. on game day prior to the Titan football semi-final game. Odessa and Harrington fans are invited to socialize, enjoy the food provided by Odessa Air and cheer on the O-H Titan football team in their march to the state championship game.
