Both Lindbergh and Oakville saw their respective football seasons end Nov. 8.

Lindbergh, facing top-seed Jackson in a Class 6 District semifinal, fell 31-14.

Lindbergh head coach Nathan Norman, a Jackson alum, saw his team come up short, as the Jackson defense was just too much for Lindbergh, forcing three turnovers in the game.

The first turnover came during Lindbergh’s first possession. A pass deflected off a Lindbergh receiver’s hands and was caught by Jackson defensive back Tyson Ford.

Jackson capitalized on the turnover on the very next play, going up 14-0.

Connor Lanham put Lindbergh on the board with a rushing touchdown in the second quarter. The Flyers trailed 17-7 at halftime.

Lindbergh pulled to within three points in the third quarter, returning a fumble for a touchdown to bring the score to 17-14, but that was as close as the Flyers would get. The Indians answered right back with a touchdown, increasing their lead to 24-14.

The loss ended the Flyers season at 8-3.

Oakville traveled to Seckman to face the top-seeded Jaguars in a Class 6 District 1 semifinal.

Earlier in the season, the teams faced off with Seckman winning 30-0. On Nov. 8, the result wasn’t much different with the Jaguars defeating Oakville 34-7.

Seckman’s Brady Ambrose ran for 202 yards on 21 carries in the game. He ran for three of the five Jaguar scores in the game.

Oakville’s 1000-yard rusher, Edin Mulalic, was held in check by the Seckman defense. He carried the ball nine times for 32 yards. Mulalic did have the Tigers lone touchdown of the game, scoring on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter.

Jacob Banes finished with 21 yards on six carries, while quarterback Max Bradley completed 13-of-25 passes for 155 yards with an interception. Caleb Pickens led all receivers with 57 yards on three catches, while Josh Williams caught three passes for 31 yards in the loss.

“We played tough,” Oakville head football coach Mike Genge said. “We just didn’t execute at key times, offensively and defensively. You can’t make mistakes against good teams and give them more chances, and too many times, that happened.”

Oakville’s season ended with a record of 5-6.

Despite the loss, the Tigers coach said he is proud of the way his team fought all season.

“Effort and brotherhood,” Genge said. “Our players battled so hard for one another, no one wanted to let the other guy down.”
