You’d have thought it was 1991. But the players in the bus weren’t even born then.

Yep, you'd have thought it was 1991.

The biggest play of the BHS-Spencerville game came with 23 seconds left in the game on special teams as Noah Stratton blocked an extra point to seal the game at 14-13 for the Pirates.

The first score of the game didn’t come until the second quarter as Mitchell Ault hit Robbie Stratton for 14 yards and a score.

Spencerville’s defense would get the scoring for them as Aaron Crider recovered a fumble in the Pirate’s end zone in the third quarter to tie the game.
