With OHS having 375 offensive yards and Brethren right there with 341 yards offensively, you can already see what a game it was! The Portagers beat Brethren 35-30 on Brethren's home field. Once again, the Seniors on this team seem to be settling scores from last year's football games. They lost to Brethren last year in a true heartbreaker 20-19 on our home field and weren't going to take another one this year.

The Portagers are on the road and travel downstate next week to play St.Joseph Catholic who are 3-2 for the season so far and have just come off a win over MCC. The Portagers have improved dramatically on Offense since OHS played MCC, it should be a good game!

Thank you Coach Hunter for the impressive stats on this game! This is our Sports Web at work and at it's best! ...Reporter Gwen
