The Graham Steers earned an important win Friday night. It was not just the win that mattered. The victory margin came into play as it will be a tight contest for a district championship. The Steers traveled to Bridgeport Friday night and came home with a 30-14 win.

Steers coach Kenny Davidson said every point is going to matter this season. The district championship is going to be a close race that could come down to tiebreakers.

It was a near-perfect start to the game for the Steers, who until last week, have experienced struggles moving the football. After running back Noah Jilek earned a season-high in rushing yards last week against Midland Greenwood, freshman quarterback Ty Thompson earned a season-high in passing yards with 234 yards on 21 completions and one touchdown Friday night.
