Harlo tacked on 14 points in the second half as Sheridan coach Ed Burke rested his varsity while the Panther JV gained valuable playing time. Final score in the contest was 52-28.

Big plays mark
Falcon road victory
Fourth and 1 at the 5 and fourth and 21 at the 29 were two huge plays made by the Twin Bridges football team on Friday night in Joliet. With 3:34 remaining in the first half and the score tied at 15, the Jayhawks were poised to take the lead and momentum going into the intermission. The Falcons had other thoughts, as the swarming Twin Bridges defense denied the Jayhawks the one yard needed and took possession of the ball. The two teams would trade possessions once more before half and go into the locker room tied at 15. The third quarter saw much the same seesaw battle as the first. The Jayhawks would draw first blood in the second half as speedster Jess Graber would take an inside handoff, stutter step and sprint 55 yards to pay dirt giving the hawks the lead at the 3:20 mark of the third. The Jayhawks would take the lead into the fourth, but not for long as Sophomore QB Tyler Lott connected with Senior Jake Schmidt on a bullet slant pass that went for 35 yards and a TD with 11:00 remaining in the game. Schmidt would tack on the extra point and the Falcons had the lead 22-21. On the Jayhawks next possession, a 43 yard pass play and an ensuing QB sneak from a spread offense put the Jayhawks on the board again; 27-22. Once again the hawks were unable to convert their extra point try. The falcons were forced to go for it a couple of times in the final period in their bid for victory. The first, a Lott keeper around the right side on 4th and 8 and the final, a pass to Jake Schmidt on 4th and 21 that would have all but given the game to the Hawks had it fallen incomplete. Such was not the case on this night that belonged to Jake Schmidt and the visiting Falcons. Twin would convert on the 4th down play and then continue on into the end zone on a Schmidt 5 yard run. The 2 pt conversion on a reverse to Ethan Nordquist made the score 30-27 Twin with 2:36 to go. On the Hawks final drive, Junior Tyler DiGiovanna intercepted the Zack Wogamon pass on the Falcon 20, ending what could have been a game winning drive. With 1:49 remaining and the game pretty much over, the Falcons were content to run out the clock with up the middle runs. As luck would have it, Jake Schmidt took the Lott handoff and went up the middle nearly untouched for a 60 yard touchdown, making the final 36-27. On the night Schmidt had runs of 5, 11, 21, 60 and a pass completion of 35 yards, all for touchdowns. The Falcons will travel to White Sulphur Springs on September 12th for a 1:00 game.
