HARLETON — The White Oak Roughnecks (8-1, 5-1) stormed into Harleton and grabbed a 10-0 win — and the District 18-2A lead — in Friday's game against the Harleton Wildcats (6-3, 5-1).
The first half was largely a defensive struggle, as no scoring took place.

The Wildcats received the second half kickoff, but were forced to punt the ball away to White Oak.
The Roughnecks received the ball on their 34-yard line and went the distance in just two plays. Stephen Hicks scored on a 61-yard burst up the middle. The extra point attempt by Connor Sharp was good.
The ground struggle continued until just 1:25 was left in the game. Sharp pulled off a 25-yard field goal to complete a seven-play, 47-yard drive to make the final score 10-0.
Harleton ran two plays in what little time was left, but failed to accomplish anything.
The Wildcats had 202 yards of total offense, while White Oak had 196.
Hicks led all rushers with 109 yards and one touchdown. Logan Jones was 11-of-24 for 126 yards.
Harleton will travel to Harmony Friday. White Oak will host Sabine.
