SMQ: El Reno vs. Duncan
Duncan and El Reno met Friday night for the 5A-1 championship. El Reno came away with the win thanks to some heady play by their defense, which has been one of the best in their class all season. Here’s a look back on the way they were……
El Reno
What went right: Its defense held Duncan in check for most of the night, save one drive when the Demons took advantage of a turnover and powered the ball down the field for their only score of the night. El Reno limited Duncan to just 10 yards passing in the first half and 158 on the ground for the game. They also forced a turnover of their own. Overall, it was a night where the Indians defense took over and got the job done as their offense was held in check.
What went wrong: Jakeil Everheart came out swinging but took several ill advised sacks that helped snuff out second half drive. On one play he lost 14 yards and 8 on another. Both were on drop backs. He’ll need to tighten that up in the playoffs and perform better across the board. There wasn’t a lot that was impressive about El Reno’s offense Friday night, with the exception of the two plays Everheart scored on.
Duncan
What went right: Their defense gave them a heckuva chance to win the gam in the second half by shutting El Reno out completely. Everheart had just a handful of passing yards in the second half. The Demons used several misdireection and gadget plays to get their touchdown.
What went wrong: The offense didn’t answer the bell consistently enough, and the defense gave up two big plays in the first half that ultimately proved to be the difference in the game. Still, the defensive effort was more than enough to win.
