Crimson Wave scores its most points in program history with 57-7 win over Oakland City

Whiting, IN – In its home opener, the Crimson Wave Sprint Football team set a record for its most points scored in program history with 57-7 win over Oakland City at Ray P. Gallivan Field at Jeff Cain Stadium late Saturday evening. 

How it Happened 

CCSJ went right down the field on their opening possession of their 2025 home opener, driving 70 yards in five plays, capped by Destry Peoples connecting with Nino Barbosa for a 43-yard touchdown pass.

On Oakland City's first play of their first possession, defensive back Quindarius Davis made an electrifying tackle, forcing the ball loose that defensive lineman Tony Madrueno picked up and returned for a touchdown.  

In less than three minutes of play, CCSJ had a 14-0 lead.

The Crimson Wave added three more scores before the end of the first quarter as Jamall Warnell rushed for two touchdowns and Zayne Guthrie completed a 40-yard touchdown pass to Nino Barbosa. 

Five touchdowns along with a successful 2pt conversion in the first quarter marked the most points scored (36) in a quarter by the sprint football team in program history.

On CCSJ's first possession of the second quarter, Peoples completed a 35-yard touchdown to Kato Keohaname. 

Despite Oakland City scoring their lone touchdown of the game on the following drive, the Crimson Wave continued to solidify their lead with Guthrie rushing for an 8-yard touchdown and Daymon Johnson making an athletic play for an interception and returned it 47 yards for the final touchdown of the game.

With a 50-point advantage in the second half, running clock was enforced. Neither team scored in the second half and CCSJ cruised to the win.

The defense smothered the opposition all night, limiting the Mighty Oaks to 66 yards of total offense. CCSJ forced Oakland City to commit three turnovers and struggled on third down going 5-of-14.
