Delphi 9th outlast Sheridan

The Delphi frosh football team recently evened their season record after defeating the Sheridan Blackhawks 14-6.

The Oracles scored first on a 43-yard option run from quarterback Tanner Cripe. The extra point failed. In the next series, Kyle Miller stripped the Blackhawk runner of the ball. Five plays later Derek Bradshaw put the ball in the end zone on a three-yard plunge. Cripe connected to Nathan McTigue for the two-point conversion. On the last play of the half, Roy Anderson picked a Blackhawk pass to send the Oracles up 14-0 at intermission.

Sheridan came out strong in the second half, marching down the field to score. The Oracles gave up on a side kick and the Blackhawk squad was still on the field. The Oracles, behind some big hits by Bradshaw, held tough and got the ball back. On a quarterback sneak, Cripe lost the ball and the Blackhawks had it again. The Oracles stopped Sheridan's attack for the win.

Knights spear Oracle JV

In a game at Central Catholic Monday night, the Oracle JV lost 36-12 to their hosts.

The Oracles ran up and down the field, but could not quite punch it in. Zach Condon played well on the defensive line, while Tanner Cripe and Aaron Back had an interception each. The Oracle scores came on long drives finished off on a QB sneak by Cripe and a three-yard plunge by Derek Bradshaw.

The JV team is now 3-4. The next game is Monday at home against Benton Central.
