Footballers Look To Lift Their Selves Out Of East C Basement

If one is wondering what the turning point of Friday’s Scobey at Plentywood football game was, Collin Kyser’s fourth quarter pass knockdown near the goal line of a Spartan pass attempt has to be the leading contender.

Then again, perhaps it was the home team’s first offensive possession of the second half, where it turned what was a one-possession game since it started into a two-possession cushion.

Either way, the Spartans were on the low end of a 38--28 final score. The victory keeps Plenty-wood (2-0, 3-0) atop the East C Division, along with Circle (2-0, 3-0) and Fair-view (2-0, 3-0), while Sc-obey (0-2, 1-2) drops into a last-place tie with Culbert-son (0-2, 1-2). The Spartans and Cowboys will decide tonight (Thursday, Septem-ber 14) on Culbertson’s C-Bar- C Field who moves up and who remains in seventh place of the East C Division.

The Wildcats rushed the ball five straight times to begin the possession before completing a 10-yard pass followed by a 28-yard aer-ial down to the 2-yard line.

From there quarterback Ben Hagan, playing the pivot position for injured starter Noah Murray, crossed the goal line and added the 2-point conversion for an 8-0 lead.

Plentywood tried another on-side kick but Aiden Nor-by fell on the ball near mid-field. Two offensive plays later quarterback Bram Handran, who sprained his right ankle on the first series, connected with Braxton Wolfe on a 36--yard touchdown pass with Brecken Maher tacking on the 2-pointer making it 8-all.
