OAKES, N.D. (NewsDaktoa.com) – Hillsboro defeated Oakes by a score of 20-0 in the 11 B Quarterfinals.

Scoring was hard for both teams as Hillsboro would score on the opening drive of the game, and then nothing else would come for the rest of the half.

Oakes would finally put a drive together with under four minutes to play in the first half. However, a goal-line stand with 20 seconds to play would keep the Tornadoes scoreless going into half (6-0).

The Burros would find the endzone two more times in the second half, but maybe the defensive performance from Hillsboro was more impressive than that.

The defense had 5 interceptions total and these would end up being the deciding factor for what was a close defensive battle.

Hillsboro advances to the semi-finals and Oakes finishes with a 9-2 record on the year.
