Harvard-Westlake Loses Football League Opener in Last Minute to St. Francis

A game winning 37-yard field goal made with two seconds left in the game ended the varsity football team’s four game winning streak last night at St. Francis. The Wolverines began league play with a 23-20 loss to the Knights dropping their record to 4-2.

The field goal capped off a 66-yard drive that started at St. Francis’s 14-yard line with 44 seconds left in the game. The Wolverines had a 10-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter but were unable to hang on to their lead.

“They made big plays and we didn’t,” Head Coach Vic Eumont said, “we had some guys that were fatigued and had come out of the game, and we just didn’t come up with the big play. And we made too many mistakes early. We should have been up more than what we were at that point.”

A list of mistakes include not only several deep completions surrendered by the defense but also three turnovers, several penalties and a missed extra point by the offense.
