Sycamore 63, Ottawa 0: At Sycamore, the visiting Pirates slipped to 1-4 overall, 0-2 in the Interstate 8 after suffering early turnovers.

After the Spartans went up 29-0, the Pirates had their best drive of the game against the Sycamore starters. The Pirates reeled off a 10-play drive starting at their own 23-yard line. The Spartans defense stiffened as the Pirates crossed into plus territory. The Pirates were stonewalled on fourth-and-1 at the Spartan 41 and turned the ball over on downs.

“We had some uncharacteristic turnovers,” Ottawa coach Chad Gross said. “Those are some big momentum swings there early. That’s tough on guys when you get down that hole.”
