Myjuan Brown rushed for four touchdowns and 200 yards tonight for the Desert Oasis football team in a 35-14 playoff victory against Clark.

It was the Diamondbacks’ first playoff win since 2015 and just the second postseason victory in school history.

“We are the second team to win a playoff game here. That is very satisfying,” coach Brant Smith said. “We are very proud.”

Brandon Lussier added a short rushing touchdown for Desert Oasis, who will playing reigning state runner-up Shadow Ridge next week in the state quarterfinals.

“They are good. They are big and strong and fast,” Smith said of Shadow Ridge. “It will be a challenge for us.”
