Indians move on to semi-final play with victory over Braves
It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Twin Lakes had no problem doing just that on Friday. They strolled past the Maconaquah Braves with points to spare, taking the game 36-20. This was payback for the Indians, who suffered a 43-14 loss the last time these two teams met.
Cooper Dold had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 138 yards and two scores on only 11 carries, while also throwing for 45 yards and one TD. Those 138 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Dold was just one part of a punishing run game: Twin Lakes was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 350 rushing yards. That’s the most rushing yards they’ve managed all season.
The win was the third in a row for Twin Lakes, bringing their record up to 8-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 14.0 points on average over those games. As for Maconaquah, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-2.
Looking ahead, Twin Lakes will welcome Peru at 7 p.m. on Friday at home for the semi-final game.
