Plains falls in homecoming bout

The Plains Horsemen welcomed the Valley Christian Eagles for their homecoming football game on Friday. The game was scoreless until the last two minutes of the game when the Eagles ran it in for a touchdown and completed the extra run to take an 8-0 lead.

In the third quarter, the Horsemen scored a touchdown which was called back by a penalty. The Horsemen attempted another drive into the end zone, but fumbled and the ball was recovered by Valley Christian. The Eagles capitalized on the turnover and were able to score another touchdown on a 62-yard run before the end of the third quarter with Valley Christian up 22-8.

Plains' Mason Elliott intercepted a Valley Christian pass and ran the ball to the 13-yard line to end the third quarter. As the fourth quarter started, Plains threw the ball in for the first of their two touchdowns of the game. The Horsemen couldn't keep up with the Eagles, however, who scored three more times before the final buzzer, beating Plains 40-14.

This week, the Horsemen travel to Arlee on Friday to battle the Warriors. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
