The Odessa-Harrington Titans football team played its final home game of the season last Friday, October 26. It was also Senior Night, so all of the senior-class members of the team and their parents were recognized, as was the sole senior member of the cheerleading squad.
The Titans defeated Soap Lake by a score of 62-20. Although the game was lopsided, there was never enough of a spread to invoke the mercy rule, and the game went on for all four quarters on a damp and cold evening, made even longer by the numerous penalties called in the second half (the boys must have been cold, too).
| S-L (1-8,1-5) | 6 | 8 | 6 | 0 | 20 | |
| O-H (6-3, 5-1) | 12 | 22 | 8 | 20 | 62 |
Sam Schafer ran back a 75-yard kickoff return to give the Titans the lead on the first play of the game. The running play for extra points was unsuccessful.
Weber then scored on a 10-yard pass from Hunt, but again the run for extra points failed. The end of the first quarter then had the teams switching to the opposite ends of the field.
Quarterback Justin Hunt scored next, keeping the ball and completing a 35-yard run into the endzone. The extra-points were good this time, as Jake Tanke caught a pass from Hunt.
After SL was unable to move the ball across the goal line, the Titans took over on downs deep in SL territory. The ball carrier was caught and pulled down behind the goal line, giving SL a safety (worth two points).
Schafer scored next for the Titans on a 7-yard pass from Hunt, but the pass attempt for two more failed. Weber then hauled in a 40-yard pass from Hunt, and Schafer ran for the two-point conversion to end the scoring of the first half.
In the third quarter, Markus Smith ran the ball 8 yards for a TD, and Tanke caught a pass from Hunt for two more.
Smith drew the nod again, and ran 18 yards for another TD, but the conversion attempt failed.
Hunt ran 6 yards on a quarterback keeper and then repeated the feat for another two points.
Smith then intercepted the ball and took it 8 yards for a TD. The extra-point attempt failed.
