Ozark is playing its best football as it heads into a highly-anticipated matchup with Nixa

Special to the News-Leader

REPUBLIC — The Ozark Tigers secured their fourth win of the season — the same amount as last year — and this time it only took half a season.

For its fourth straight win, Ozark defeated the Republic Tigers 35-28 on the road. Ahead of the team’s biggest rivalry, things are only looking up for Ozark.

Ozark started the game off with big plays from quarterback Cannon Cox.

Cox had two throws over 40 yards in the first quarter, one of which set up a red zone TD run from him and the other connected with fellow senior Owen Brockman.
