(Red Oak) The Red Oak football team is off to a tremendous start in 2022. The Tigers enter week three with a 2-0 record, with a 41-0 win over Riverside and a 42-0 over West Central Valley.
Tigers Head Coach Michael Nordeen is not surprised at his team’s early success.
Nordeen gives much of the credit to the offensive line. The Tigers have combined for 863 yards of offense through two games, led by the rushing attack with 602 yards, and averaging 9.9 yards per carry. Senior running back Riley Fouts leads all of Class 2A in rushing yards with 447. and five touchdowns, which is fourth best in 2A.
Red Oak squares off against Nodaway Valley in non-district play. Coach Nordeen points out the Wolverines passed a lot in week one and switched to more of an option scheme against Shenandoah, led by Boston DeVault, who finished the game at quarterback.
The Wolverines enter week three at 0-2 with losses to Mt. Ayr (54-0) and Shenandoah (20-6).
