VICTORIA 22, CENTRAL PLAINS 20 — Victoria's Wyatt Schmidtberger scored the game-winning touchdown in the final minute for a 22-20 victory, benefiting from crucial defensive penalties against the Oilers.

But the Knights answered on their final drive on Schmidtberger's 38-yard touchdown. Victoria roared ahead 16-0 on back-to-back 13- and 39-yard touchdown runs by Weston Scherrer. The Oilers rallied with three consecutive touchdowns started by Stroud's 4-yard scoring pass from Crites.

Victoria rushed for 270 yards. Crites threw for 259 yards, but were held to 8 yards rushing on 24 attempts. Siemsen had 110 yards receiving and Stroud 102 yards.
