Sorry this update from Steve is so late, but I conked out around 1 a.m. and wasn't able to get it posted before then.
So here's his info from the game:
North Huron was looking to make sure they could play a meaningful game late in the season to get a playoff berth. To accomplish that goal, they would first have to get out of Owendale with a win. Many thought this would be an easy win for the Warriors, but instead they found themselves in a four quarter battle.
Still, North Huron walked away with the 28-7 victory.
The game was a lot closer than the score reflects as the defenses on both sides of the ball played very well. The offense ground out every yard they gained. The only scoring in the first quarter was an Anthony Irvine run for an 18 yard TD.
Owen-Gage caught a couple breaks in the second quarter when two near scores were called back on block in the back calls. The first penalty came during the runback on an interception from Irvine. The second came on a 59 yard run that was brought back.
Both teams traded scores when Irvine ran for nine yards to go up 14-0. The Bulldogs answered with a score of their own when Brent Reil hooked up with Nick Zaleski for a 37 yard TD strike to pull within seven with under two minutes to go in the half.
The Warrior got one more score before the half on a 24 yard pass from Kevin Rice to John Iseler to make the score at half 21-7.
Both D’s continued to play well. The Bulldogs were knocking on the door on a 4th and one that would have pulled them within seven, midway through the fourth quarter, but were denied by the Warrior defense on fourth and one at the 1 yard line.
The Bulldogs had traveled 90 yards and came up empty. “It was there’s for the taking,” one of he OG coaches said.
That was the decisive moment in the game. Owendale missed a huge scoring opportunity and the Warriors capitalized on a 34 yard run by Irvine to complete the scoring and get out of Owen-Gage with a hard fought win over their NCTL rivals.
