With 5:20 left in the 4th quarter Zach Teachout scampered 34 yards to put OHS on the score board and Dan Gillespie ran the 2 point conversion in to make the score 8-20. Late in the quarter Lake City scored again to make the final score 8-26 for a Lake City victory. Our young Portagers finished the season with a 3-3 record.

We would like to thank Coaches Chris Thomas and Gerry Matthews for a fine job with these young men and all the parents, sisters, brothers, grandparents and friends that showed their support. Also thanks to the people that ran the chains and down markers during the season and to Dave Nesburg for being our play by play announcer.
