Republic’s defense put on a clinic in containment, limiting Webb City to a mere 48 rushing yards outside of two explosive plays. While the Cardinals’ two wide receivers combined for 167 yards on those two long runs, the rest of Webb City’s ground game found itself suffocated by a swarming Tigers defense.
