lil hunter Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Today was the opening day of deer season, but instead of being in a treestand, I found myself on the bus headed up to Indianapolis for our semi-state game. We played the defending state champions, and scored with less than 40 seconds to go to beat them 35-34. With just 8 minutes to go, we were down by 13, but we got to within 6 with about 5 minutes on the clock. Our defense made a good stand, and we had the ball again with 1:55 left to go. After a couple quick plays we were within the 50 yard line. But, we threw an interception. It seemed as if it was over for us. All the other team had to do was get a first down, and they win. BUT, out of nowhere, they fumble the ball with a minute to go in the game. 2-3 plays later we are in the endzone off of a big touchdown pass! We made the EP to put us u[ 35-34. With little time on the clock, but 2 timeouts, our oppenents made a quick drive. With 6.9 seconds left, they were on the 35 yard line. The last play of the game, ended with a hail mary, caught, but their reciever landed out of bounds just inches from the goal line. It was an incredible night, i'll tell you that, and definetly worth missing the opener of deer season. I got home around 2:45 this morning and started getting everything ready to try my luck in the deer stand. Anyone around Indy should head to the RCA dome next Saturday and watch us play. I play for Reitz, in class 4A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
