The Oakland Patriots continued their undefeated season Friday night , beating Science Hill 49-7 in one of the most physical games of the year.
Oakland advanced to the quarterfinals of the Class 6A State Playoffs and will host Hardin Valley this Friday.
The Patriots got things started on their very first play of the game - a 43-yard touchdown run from Michael Roper. Science Hill responded, marching down the field on an 11-play drive to tie the game at 7-7.
"I thought Science Hill did a great job responding to our first-play touchdown," Oakland coach Kevin Creasy said.
