Cowboys Squeak out One-Point Victory on Homecoming Night
🏈🏈🏈
Cowboys 21 | Tigers 20 - OT
It was a back and forth game as the Cowboys and Ontario Tigers traded touchdowns all night. The game was deadlocked at 14-14 when the horn sounded at the end of regulation.
The Cowboys struck first in overtime and took a 21-14 lead. The Tigers answered right back with a touchdown of their own. The Cowboys were called for an offsides penalty during the point-after attempt. The Tigers chose to take the penalty and attempted a two-point conversion for the win, but were stopped short of the goal line by the Cowboy's defense. It was a great ending to a festive evening.
The Cowboys are 2-3 overall but begin league play 1-0 in the 4A Special District 5. They travel to Pendleton this Friday, October 6th, for a league contest against the Buckaroos. They're back home for the final home game of the season against LaGrande on Friday, October 13th.
Ayden Hall & Merritt O'Gorman voted by their classmates as King & Queen
for CCHS Homecoming 2023. Congratulations!
