Indians win over Monroe County in last minute thriller By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer Adair County High School football defeated Monroe County 36-30 in a last minute thriller Friday night. The Indians came out in impressive fashion and built up a 20-6 halftime lead, but the Falcons would not go away easily and stormed back. Monroe County found themselves with the ball, down 6 with under a minute to go and no timeouts, thanks to a penalty on the Indians, they were set up nicely to take one more shot for the end zone. Fortunately, that chance was intercepted by Adair County, which ended the game. Despite all the scoring and action on the field, the biggest headline in this game was what was talking place off the field. Throughout the entire night and especially the 4th quarter, clock malfunctions or human error caused the clock to, at times, stop or run when it should have been doing the opposite. The two most notable cases were halfway through the 4th quarter when almost a minute of clock ran off in between a kickoff and taking possession. The other more memorable moment happened with a little more than 20 seconds left in the game, when the clock stopped as instructed, but failed to resume when the next play started. Further, after that very play, when the clock should have been running, it was paused several times and then resumed, extending the game by about 8-10 seconds. Thanks to that, Monroe County was able to spike the ball and stop the clock, however after the ball was spiked the clock continued to run and expire. The pandemonium that followed was quite chaotic, but the eventual choice by the officials was to put 3 seconds back on the clock. The following play was the game ending interception. Past the controversy, the Indians offense was impressive throughout the night yet the defense struggled to stop the Falcons rushing attack. They will look to patch that up before they are back on the road to face the Glasgow Scotties next Friday. This story was posted on 2024-09-23 10:42:48
