This week's bizarre high school football score

Had a 2-0 in the area tonight.
Actual 48 minute game. Not a forfeit.

 

Came pretty close in Southwest Kansas tonight.

Lakin scored a safety early and then it became a slugfest. Cimarron's field-goal try hit the upright at the horn, from what I've heard.

Lakin 2, Cimarron 0.

It was a decent night. No rain.

 

Dallas Skyline scored 7 points in its loss tonight.

Had a field goal, a safety and a blocked PAT return for 2 points. No TD.

 

Morton Ranch 77, Cinco Ranch 63. This was more Isner vs. Mahut than anything else - they're fringe playoff contenders - although both teams play in Texas' 6A. One punt. Also, really glad I did not have to cover this one, ha...

 

I had what I call a "Mission Control" night last night. All of our local schools were on the road and too far out to even think of covering, so I worked from home and fired up a couple of livestreams and a radio feed to cover three games simultaneously.
And then thanked God that was how this one worked out.
One game ended by 9:15, the second around 9:40. The last one started at 7:40, went to overtime after the locals blew a big lead late, and didn't end until 10:45. If that had been a home game I probably would have been there and beyond screwed as far as deadline goes. As it was I was able to get the other two filed while the last game was finishing, and stayed on schedule. Even made deadline with 15 minutes to spare.

I may need to have a talk with this team's coach. This is the fourth game they've played and the third that ended at 10:45 or later, for various reasons (a late start, weather delays, and now overtime). The only reason the fourth one didn't get there was because they stopped a game-tying two-point conversion in the final minute, at about 9:55 p.m. I appreciate the drama, coach, but we've got a schedule to keep.

 

The Hawkeyes are impressed.

Beat me to it!

 

Not a score, but some numbers to wow you. It's fun to catch a few minutes of an Oil City game, just to see how quickly he'll pop a 75-yard run.

 

Which schools?
