Warriors fall in OT to Huskies

By Becky Walz,

After a scoreless fourth quarter, it took overtime to decide Friday’s game between the South Winn football team (2-4, 2-2) and district leader Nashua-Plainfield (5-1, 4-0) in Calmar. The Warriors put up a fight but fell to the Huskies 27-21.
“This was a tough loss, but we still have a lot we can accomplish with our next two district contests,” said SW Coach Jason Ohrt. “We struggled getting off the field on defense and converting drives into points the rest of the game.”
Fifteen seconds into the game and South Winn’s Carson Streeter was in the end zone. That was all it took for the junior to race 90 yards on the kickoff return. Putting the pigskin through the uprights, Streeter alone put the Warriors up 7-0.
The Huskies retaliated with a running game that ate up a chunk of the clock in the first, scoring their first touchdown with 5:18 remaining to tie the game 7-7. The Warriors weren’t content with the even score as Braiden Todd connected with Streeter on a 35-yard pass who then had his PAT blocked, giving South Winn a 13-7 lead after the first quarter.
Forcing Nashua-Plainfield to go 3-and-out to start the second, the Warriors capitalized once again as Todd maneuvered his way over the goal line with 8:04 left in the half. A successful two-point play gave South Winn the 21-7 advantage. The Huskies answered five minutes later with a score of their own to make it 21-14 in favor of the home team. South Winn looked ready to strike again when Nashua-Plainfield picked off a pass intended for Landon Livingood. The Huskies quickly moved down the field to the Warrior 8-yard line, where the SW defense held as time ran out.
The Huskies put up a score in the third. That touchdown and PAT, combined with a scoreless fourth quarter put the Class A District 3 team’s into overtime that went in the Huskies’ favor with a final score and the win.
