YES, IT’S FRIDAY THE 13TH, AND YES, SOME OF YOU MAY BE SHORT OF SLEEP, BUT NO NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE PINCH YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT DREAMING. WHAT YOU HEARD AND WHAT YOU SAW LAST NIGHT WAS REAL! IN THE MOST EXCITING CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL GAME IN RECENT MEMORY, AND WITH A FINAL PLAY THAT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, THE WINNER WARRIOR FOOTBALL TEAM CAPPED AN UNDEFEATED SEASON, AND DETHRONED TWO TIME DEFENDING 11B CHAMPION TRI-VALLEY TO WIN THE CLASS 11B STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.
WINNER AND TRI-VALLEY ARE TEAMS THAT MIRROR EACH OTHER, AND THE GAME WAS HARD FOUGHT AND CAME DOWN TO THE WIRE. WINNER WAS THE TEAM THAT MADE THE PLAYS AND CAME OUT THE CHAMPION. THE GAME WAS TIED AT HALFTIME, BUT IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR WINNER TO TAKE THE LEAD IN THE 2ND HALF WITH A 52 YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN BY ERIC SHEETS, WHO WAS ALSO NAMED THE “JOE ROBBIE” MVP. TRI-VALLEY TIED THE GAME IN THE 4TH AND THE LAST FEW POSSESSIONS WENT BACK AND FORTH, WITH WINNER FINALLY MOVING ONTO THE TRI-VALLEY SIDE OF THE FIELD FOR ONE LAST MIRACLE PLAY. MIRACLES DO COME TRUE, AND HORSTMAN TIPPED IT, KNODELL CAUGHT IT, AND DANCED INTO THE ENDZONE. IN A GAME NO ONE CAN FORGET, WINNER TAKES DOWN TRI-VALLEY 12 TO 6 TO WIN THEIR FIRST STATE FOOTBALL TITLE IN 20 YEARS!
IN THE 11A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, MILBANK DOMINATED THE FIRST HALF EN ROUTE TO THE TITLE, DEFEATING ST. THOMAS MORE 34 TO 20 TO WIN THEIR FIRST 11A TITLE.
