A game for the ages

To the editor,

On Oct. 5, 2018 at Deer Lodge, Thompson Falls’ football game against Deer Lodge was one of the best games I have ever seen. And I have seen a few.

The Blue Hawks got off to a slow start and we were down 26-8 at halftime. There was no quit in either team. They came all the way back and actually took the lead with one minute left at 50-46 before losing 54-50 with 6 seconds left. They scored six touchdowns in the second half to four for Deer Lodge. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that the comeback actually felt possible.

What a roller coaster of emotions. Winning the game would have been the cherry on top. Coming back from a 26-8 deficit is priceless.
