In a semi-final playoff game for a state title against a cross-river rival, the football team lost 24-21. Trailing 24-6 in the fourth quarter, our Rams scored two tds and a two-point conversion to pull within 3, and got the ball on their own ten with a little over three minutes to play. They drove the ball down the field, but their superb kicker missed a 44 yard field goal attempt when the ball sailed wide left. It had plenty of leg.
The next day the school played for the state title in boys' soccer. It was 1-1 after regulation, and two overtime periods failed to change the score, so they and their opponents were declared state co-champions. Neither team was thrilled about the tie. One team got the trophy and the other received the gold medals.
