Arlee almost upsets Drummond

Arlee had a chance to down the Trojans with a pass to the endzone with 32.1 seconds left on the clock, but it fell incomplete and Drummond held onto a 28-22 victory over the Warriors on Friday.

Senior running back Zach Tameler was again and offensive force for Arlee, rushing for two touchdowns and collecting 140 yards on the ground.

The Warriors scored the opening touchdown of the game thanks to a nine-yard pass from quarterback Cody Sheridan to Christian Haynes, but Drummond gained a 12-8 lead at the half.

In the opening play of the fourth quarter, the Trojans punched it in to make it 20-8 and it looked like they might run away with the game. However, the Warriors never faltered.

The Warriors scored on a 28-yard run by Zach Tameler with 7:55 to go in the game to make it 20-16. While Drummond would extend their lead after just two plays on their next drive to 28-16, Arlee once again put the ball in the endzone with a seven-play drive that ended with Tameler punching the ball in from two yards out with 5:42 to go. It was set up by a 34-yard pass by Sheridan to Haynes to get into the redzone. 

The Arlee defense held on Drummond's next drive, and then drove down the field for what could have been the game-winning touchdown but came up just a bit short.

Arlee moved to 1-4 on the season while Drummond is 4-1.
