Titans Power Into Next Round Behind Holder, McAlister
Brennan Holder was told where to run Friday night.
And he listened.
The South Central Calhoun senior powered his way into the end zone for the game-winning score as the Titans advanced past Dike-New Hartford, 30-22.
Just prior to getting the ball, Holder's teammates instructed him where he needed to go with it to score.
"We knew we had 1-yard to go," Holder said. "That's all we had to do: advance the ball one more yard to keep our season alive. The linemen on the right side, Levi Meyer and Carson Pibal, told me to follow their butts because they were going to lead the way for me, and they sure did."

Holder ran for 74 yards on 16 carries, scoring twice, with Blake McAlister adding a game-high 126 yards and a touchdown. Senior quarterback Cole Corey was 6 of 7 passing for 69 yards with a TD to Josh Dietrich, adding a pair of key two-point conversions.
McAlister led the Titan defensive effort with a pair of sacks, with Holder in on eight solo tackles and 10 stops in all. Kolten Hildreth also had a sack and both McAlister and Kevin King picked off passes.
"It feels great advancing through the playoffs and surviving for another week," Holder said. "Now we just have to prepare for what comes next."
South Hamilton is that next challenge, as the two square off in Jewell this coming week for a spot in the quarterfinals.
Holder now has 468 yards and eight touchdowns on 66 carries, adding six receptions for 145 yards and a score. He's also made 41.5 tackles including 8.5 for loss.
