Week four saw the start of district play in Eight-Man Division I. The Central Plains Oilers traveled to face the Little River Redskins.
Central Plains came into the game with a six-year streak of not losing a district game. Little River looked to play spoiler as both teams took to the field with undefeated records.
The Oilers struck first with a touchdown after only four minutes played. They would continue to add points until the game was called near the end of the third quarter.
