At Friday's football game against ACH in Coulee City, Odessa sophomore receiver Dakota Steward pulls in a pass from the quarterback for a 33-yard gain.

ODESSA – The Odessa Tiger football team lost its first game since the beginning of the 2018 season to the Almira-Coulee-Hartline team this past Friday night. The game saw another Tiger injury, as Gage Starkel was tackling a Warrior runner and took a knee to the kidney in the tumble that followed. Reports from the family say he is doing well and does not require surgery, but he will be out of action for at least four weeks while his wound heals. Meanwhile, Jacob Scrupps is also still out of action due to a concussion.

Odessa 8 6 0 6 20

ACH 14 14 22 0 50

Quarterback Collin Martin led the team in yardage gained, passing for 114 yards and running for another 25 for a total of 139 yards. Senior starters Davey McMillan and Daeton Deife gained 64 yards and 32 yards, respectively, well below their previous averages. Starkel caught three passes for a combined gain of 44 yards and Dakota Steward caught one pass for a 33-yard gain. Anthony Elder gained 38 yards on the night, 14 rushing and 24 receiving.


Senior defensive back Drew Hardung led the team in tackles with eight, one solo and seven assists, including a sack assist with Deife. Martin and Starkel each had a QB sack to their credit.

The Tigers face Mary Walker High School at Springdale this Friday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m.
