It came down to this: With 2:35 remaining in Bigfork, Jefferson High was down 20-19. It had been a tight game on a beautiful Friday evening between two very strong teams; for most of 60 minutes, they were just a point apart.
And now, at the wire, here they were again. Quarterback Jake Morris had engineered a nice fourth-quarter drive: A pass to Jake Genger, a run by Dylan Root, and passes to Tom Meyer and Joey Visser had landed the Panthers on Bigfork’s 3-yard line. And then Jace Oxarart had punched it in.
So, the Panthers were one point down, with time running down. An extra-point kick would tie it. A two-point conversion would put them ahead. Would they try for the win?
