The Star Valley Braves Football team blasted the Lander Tigers 50-21 to advance to the 3A Football semifinals on Friday.

Tied at 14-14, the Brave engineered a drive that ended with a touchdown to take a 21-14 advantage. The Tigers very nearly answered with less than a minute to go before the half but a potential reception inside the five-yard line was broken up by Kort Hilton with a crunching hit.

Coming out of the locker room, Winston Green returned the third quarter kickoff for a touchdown and a two-point conversion to push the advantage to 29-14. From there, the rout was on behind a dominant rushing game led by Lane Oesch and the offensive line. Oesch broke the school record for yards in a game as he gashed the Tigers for 301 yards and two scores. Green caught a pair of touchdown passes in addition to his special teams touchdown.

The win puts the Braves into a rematch with the Cody Broncs who defeated Worland 40-7 in their quarterfinal match up. Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 7 pm on Friday, November 5.

On the other half of the bracket, the Jackson Broncs rolled past the Buffalo Bison, 75-27 and will now travel to Douglas. The Bearcats held on to defeat the Powell Panthers 14-10.
