#10 Safford 34 #7 Odyssey Institute 0
The Safford Bullodgs showed their muscle early and often Friday night in their 34-0 upset over the Minotaurs. Robert White scored on the 3rd play of the game on a 51 yard touchdown to silence the raucous crowed. The Dogs didn’t give them much else to cheer about either as they dominated the first half with two more rushing touchdowns from Sam Tobias and CJ Scrivner. Scrivner added two more scores as well and ended the night with 192 yards and the three touchdowns.
The Bulldog defense held OI’s leading rusher Chris Weaver to just 124 yards. He averaged 225.6 yards per game in the regular season. This is the 11th straight game he rushed for over 100 yards this year.
Safford will travel to Yuma on Friday to take on #2 Yuma Catholic, who defeated Show Low 49-20. The game was close at halftime but the Shamrocks held the Cougars scoreless in the 2nd half to pull away with the win.

Brock Jones opened the scoring with 20 yard run early to give the Eagles at 7-0 lead. Quinton Turley got in on the fun with a 10 yard run with 90 seconds left in the 1st quarter to make it 14-0 THS. On the ensuing kick of the Falcons failed to cover a free kick and the Eagles capitalized with a run from quaterback Jack Kortsen and a 21-0 Thatcher lead with still 70 seconds left in the quarter and the route was on.
