Mike Delich rushed for 202 yards to lead Eastview to a 23-8 upset of No. 4 Woodbury on Friday night and the school's first win since Oct. 10, 2014 —a span of 693 days. Delich also caught a 25-yard touchdown pass.
After the Royals gained momentum on their only scoring drive of the game, Delich turned the corner and ran for the Lightning's first first down of the second half after a pair of three-and-out drives. The Lightning did not come away with points after a missed field goal but took a lot of time off the clock.
The Lightning sealed the victory with a long fourth-quarter drive that finished with a 7-yard touchdown pass from Michael Franchino to Brady Miller with 6 minutes, 7 seconds left in the game.
The Royals made one last push on the ensuing drive. Nico Bolden made a leaping catch down the middle of the field. However, the Royals wide receiver was stripped of the football a few plays later and the Lightning recovered in its own territory.
The Royals got their only score of the game on a short pass from Ryan Christensen to Jalen Morrison early in the second half.
Ross Cochran threw a pair of touchdown passes, including the 25-yard pass to Delich, in the second quarter to help the Lightning build a 17-0 lead at halftime.
