The SOV Redskins continued their winning momentum from week one with their first road win of the season. The team traveled to Arcola to face the struggling Purple Riders. At the end of the game, Sullivan’s offense eclipsed 600 total yards as they proved to be an equal threat on the ground and in the air. “Our run game and pass game were working well for us, and we were able to vary our formations and spread the ball around to different guys that can all be playmakers, which is something we hope we can keep doing this season to keep defenses from being able to lock in on just one or two guys.” The final score was 49-14.
