Football: Warriors See Lead Slip Away Late

Riding high off of a victory the week prior, the Warriors continued the momentum through the first half of last week’s contest against Twin Valley, taking a 28-7 lead early into the 3rd quarter. But the Warriors saw the lead slip away, and eventually found themselves down 35-28, as Twin Valley rattled off a late rally.

    The Warriors responded with a late touchdown strike from Chase Summers to Ethan Schammel which put them within a point. However, the rally was stopped short as running back Jack Allred was tackled just shy of the goal-line on a two-point conversion attempt.

    With seconds remaining, the Warriors got the ball back, but kicker Adam Hedgeland came up just yards short on a 57-yard field goal as time expired. Despite the setback, Senior Caleb Oestrike remains optimistic about the team’s future.

    “We fought down to the wire, up to the very last second,” said Oestrike. “We did a lot of things well. We’ve just gotta keep improving on those things and fix the little mistakes.”
