Delphi's #58 Travis Yoakum, #54 Roy Anderson (on the ground), and #76 Casey Penn bring down the Twin Lakes running back. It was a slippery field with Friday's rain but it did not stop Twin Lakes. The Indians routed the Oracles 30-0. Bill Stauffer photo The steady rain in Monticello on Friday night didn't help the Oracles' running game as Twin Lakes came out on top 30-0.

The Indians held the Oracles to a minus 37 yards on 24 carries. The equally anemic passing game didn't help with just one completed pass on the evening, good for a net three yards.

The Oracles started the game at their 25 after receiving the kickoff, but within a minute they were facing a 2nd and 32 at their 3-yard line after a pair of penalties and a bad lateral. Dylan McKay of TL caught the Dustin Salyer punt at the 35- yard line and returned it for a touchdown to give their offense a 7-point cushion before they had to put on their helmets.

Blake Underhill intercepted an Oracle pass three plays later to again assist the Indians' offense by giving them the ball at the visitors' 35 to begin their first offensive drive. Garrett Howe ran 21 yards to finish the drive and make the score 14-0 after the extra point by Cameron Harl.

Twin Lakes held the ball for over half the second period on a 16-play drive that went from their own 17-yard line to the Oracle 19 before being stopped. A sack by Travis Yoakum on a 4th and seven forced a turnover on downs.

On the ensuing TL possession Yoakum again was at the right spot when he recovered an Indian fumble after Matt Dent knocked the ball loose at the Delphi 18-yard line. The opportunity to climb back into the game didn't last long as, on the very next play, the Oracles' AJ Beckett fumbled the wet ball and the Indians recovered.

This time it took only two plays for the Indians to stretch the score to 20-0. Brad Roth and Justin Salyer both broke through to block the extra point.

The second half began with the Indians driving 70 yards in 12 plays. The final 24 by McKay made it 28-0 after a two pass conversion by the Indians. After a TL penalty for unsportsman-like behavior during the kickoff return the Oracles had the ball near midfield. Two plays later a high snap sailed over Beckett's head that resulted in a 17-yard loss for Delphi.

After a TL punt, on the last play of the third period, the Oracles were faced with a 2nd and 11 at their 16-yard line, when another high snap got past the QB . An alert Oracle fell on the ball at the oneyard line.

The first play of the final quarter provided the final points of the game when Tanner Lynde was tackled in the end zone by the TL's Aaron Connell for a safety.

The Indians evened up their record to 2 wins and 2 losses (1-1 in the conference) while the Oracles fall to 0-4 (0-2 conference).

The Oracles next chance to win a game is at 7 p.m. Friday when they entertain the (2-2) Clinton Prairie Gophers for Homeoming at Berto Field.
