The win put EAWR on the verge of automatically clinching an IHSA playoff spot; either a win next week over Nokomis or in Week 9 over South Mac (the Bunker Hill-Mount Olive coop) will send the Oilers to the postseason for the second straight year; both games will be at Memorial Stadium with 7 p.m. kickoffs.
Womack scored on a 6-yard run in the opening quarter, then on a 60-yard touchdown pass from Justin Englar in the first quarter before going to the house from 29 yards out in the third period; Gabe Grimes also scored from four yards out in the first term and Zach Wells connected on a 15-yard pass from Englar in the second period to account for EAWR's scoring on the night.
