OAKES, ND. (NewsDakota.com)- Oakes defeated the Thompson Tommies 34-15 in the first round of the 11B playoffs.

Thompson would dominate the first half with Starcevic tossing and rushing for touchdowns early in the game. Thompson would ride a physical defensive effort into halftime having a 15-0 lead.
The second half would be a completely different game, however. The Tornadoes found pay dirt on their opening second half drive, and from there on it would be all F-5 Tornadoes. Oakes rattled off 34 unanswered points and followed a dominant Mario Garza performance into the next round of the playoffs.
Garza would have 129 yards on 15 carries for one touchdown and add on a 36 yards touchdown reception. Defensively he had one interception, 9 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and a sack.
Oakes will head to Hillsboro Central Valley to take on the Burros in the quarterfinals. Kickoff is set for 2:00 PM on Saturday, October 29th. Coverage can be heard on KDDR 1220AM/100.3FM, online at newsdakota.com, or on the KDDR 1220AM Tornado App.
