The Oswego Indians and head coach Matt Fowler secured a 61-12 home victory over the Erie Red Devils on Friday night.

The win moves Oswego to 6-0 on the season following the non-district matchup. The Indians also hold a three-game lead over the next closest team in their district standings in 8-man football.

Oswego took down West Elk in Week 5, and Fowler says the defense was the standout, allowing just four first downs and 21 rushing yards on 45 carries. He also praised special teams for coming up with a big play on a punt return for a touchdown. 

Heading into the matchup with Erie, Fowler says the Indians needed to be ready for a big, physical team and find a way to slow down the Red Devils’ star running back, Quincy Brown. 

The Indians will hit the road one last time in the regular season, traveling to take on the Southeast Lancers. Oswego will look to move to 7-0 against a Southeast team aiming to secure a winning regular season.
