YUKON, Oklahoma – In a back-and-forth game, Edmond North was able to hang on and advance against the Yukon Millers, 28-21 on Friday.

Both teams scored touchdowns in the first quarter before Yukon started scoring unconventionally. The Millers posted back-to-back safeties to take an odd 11-7 lead.

Edmond North’s Jarion Tudman struck back with a score to put the Huskies up 14-11 early in the third quarter.

Yukon (8-3) answered with a field goal before North posted another touchdown to go up 21-14. But the Millers tacked on another score at the end of the third to tie the contest at 21.

But the Huskies owned the fourth quarter, scoring the go-ahead touchdown and holding on on the defensive side to secure a spot in the second round.

North (6-5) will now travel to Tulsa Union for its second round matchup on Friday at 7:30.
