The Tiger fans were expecting a much closer game last Friday, October 25, when the Almira-Coulee-Hartline Warriors came to Finney Field. The two undefeated teams went head to head, with Odessa proving its overwhelming dominance by accumulating 92 points, while allowing ACH only six.
Od 40 24 0 28 92
ACH 6 0 0 0 6
Marcus King once again dominated the offense with a total of 238 yards gained, 190 rushing and 48 receiving. He scored five touchdowns and four conversion points for a total of 34 points.
Josh Clark tallied 128 yards, 111 rushing and 17 receiving, while scoring one TD and two 2-point conversions.
Seniors Jakob Starkel and Brady Walter scored one TD each, with Walter also adding two 2-point conversions. Freshmen Anthony Elder and Gage Starkel each scored two TDs in the second half.
Quarterback Jett Nelson completed eight of nine attempted passes for 152 yards.
Senior lineman Jaden Hunt was back in the lineup and ended the game with two interceptions (talk about being in the right place at the right time). Josh Clark and Pilot Weishaar led the team in tackles with seven each, including three QB sacks by Weishaar. King and Daeton Deife also each had one QB sack.
Odessa's defense did a stellar job against the Warriors. ACH's leading rusher Brayton Schafer, for example, averaging 103 yards per game this season, was held to only 39 yards Friday.
Among all small schools in the nation fielding either six‑, eight- or nine-man teams, the Odessa Tigers moved up 63 spots to position 106. The Tigers remain in the #1 spot for 1B schools in Washington state, followed by #2 Naselle (also undefeated), #3 ACH and #4 Neah Bay.
This Friday, Nov. 1, the Tigers play Wilbur/Creston in Wilbur at 7 p.m. The Wildcats return to the 1B league this year after several years at the 2B level.
