West Lyon squeaks by SOB

Crazy game friday night in Paullina. SOB was ready to go and we were not. Nothing very good happened on O until there was 2 minutes left in the first half and SOB was up 7. 2 minute drill and TD pass to Adam T. We are 7-7 at half. Second half we have the ball and score very quickly, another TD to Adam and lead 14-7 and then it seemed like we just coasted. Well SOB scores with 2 minutes left and tie it. To OT we go and on third down Adam makes a circus catch for the TD, extra point good. (Brandon Snyder with all three PAT, don't think he has missed this year.) They score on 4th and two but then Kaleb Heyer blocks the PAT and Big Blue wins. Hats off to SOB, played well and really had us in the corner. They are going to win some more games this year. We will need to play much better against HMS on Friday. They are 3-1 and running wild again this year. Come on boys, let's go! GO BIG BLUE!!
