The South Christian Sailors football team (5-2, 3-0 in OK Gold) played with heavy hearts tonight as the South Christian Community lost teacher Rod VanDyke to a tragic bicycle accident earlier this week.  South Christian honored Mr. VanDyke before the game in a very touching ceremony. 

Hastings (0-7, 0-3 in OK Gold) was coming in looking for their first win of the season and scored on their first drive with a 21-yard touchdown pass from Clay Coltson to Lee Stowe.

South Christian would have a touchdown pass called back due to holding on their first drive and eventually would fall short on 4th down due to an incomplete pass. The incomplete pass by Wassink ended up being only one of three he had on the night (17/20).

Hastings would punt on their next possession and it would be all South Christian from there.  South Christian scored on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Wassink to Brandon VanSolkema.  The Sailors followed this up with the 1st of two blocked punts. Geff Plasman would capitalize for South Christian running it in from 8 yards out to give the Sailors a 14-7 lead.

Hastings would knock through a 23-yard field on their next possession to bring it to 14-10, but  South Christian then scored on their next 5 possessions on touchdown passes of 17, 14, and 63 yards to Jake Wierenga and twice to Evan Beukema. Plasman added 8 and 22-yard touchdown runs.

Hastings would score on their final two possessions to bring the final to 48-24. The win gives South Christian a 5-game winning streak.
