The Hillbillies live to see another week of the state playoffs with last night’s win over Lamar.
Koby Wilbanks took it home for the first score of the game. Following that, there was a Lamar turnover that the Hillbillies took advantage of with a perfect pass by Wilbanks to MJ Parker for a touchdown.
Yobani Zarate kicked both field goals almost effortlessly. He made it look too easy putting the score 14-0. Lamar responded with a touchdown by Zayden Rogers running through the left side of the field from the 40 yard line to the end zone.
The Hillbillies respond accordingly- with a passing touchdown thrown by Wilbanks and into the hands of Demetrius Parish. This pass had him flipping into the endzone- literally. Parish also had an interception during the second quarter.
Senior MJ Parker has helped lead the Hillbillies this year to many victories but suffered from a chip fracture in his right foot during the victory over Lamar.
The final score was 35-20. Ozark heads into week two of the playoffs at home against Lincoln.
