Brown's 2 TDs lead Oracle 8th to win

The 8th grade Oracles defeated the West Lafayette Red Devils 14-6 last Thursday night. Matt Brown scrambled for two touchdowns, both of which were over 45-yards. Tanner Lynde punched in a two-point conversion as Delphi's offense ran the ball hard and efficiently.

Defensively several players stepped up to aide in the efforts. Matt Brown and Jon Wratten both recovered fumbles; Caleb Alford forced a fumble and recorded two sacks; Cole Whitaker, Jacob Disinger and Austin Jones all made touchdown saving tackles; and Karson Bender delivered the final blow with his game-ending interception.

The Oracles improved their record to 2-2 overall, 1-0 in conference play. They look to improve on this total team effort Thursday against Tecumseh at Berto Field.
