Alan Workman - Grant Co.

Our Eleventh Custom Trophy & Apparel Player Of the Game

Last week it was the RAIN!!!!! This week was the cold. Game time was 40 degrees and the field conditions were bad at Grant County. But the Braves were fighting for the playoffs, while Oldham County was looking for a better seed. We said at the beginning that due to the conditions, this game would be low scoring, quick and it would take a big play to win. It was everything but the last. The game was scoreless through regulation and went to overtime. We have seen one OT game this year already. Grant County won the toss for OT and deferred. Oldham County started at the 10 yard line and on an 8 yard QB keeper by Chase Hamby, scored the only TD in the game. the extra point was good, giving a 7-0 lead to the Colonels. Grant County had their turn, but a missed TD catch in the endzone ended the game and playoff chances for the Braves. Unfortunately, they will be the odd man out in their 5A district. The Custom Trophy & Apparel Player of the game went to Oldham County's Kirk Yepko. The Senior running back had 10 rushes for 15 yards in the soup and caught the games longest pass for the Colonels.
