The Yorkton Lady Gridders wrapped up their fall season in Regina in what can only be described as an old-fashioned barn burner.
鈥淚t was a wild game,鈥� said Yorkton coach Tyrell MacLean. 鈥淲e trailed all game.鈥�
But Canadian football is never over until it鈥檚 over, and that was the case in Regina.
鈥淲e scored a touchdown with 46-seconds left to essentially tie it,鈥� said MacLean.
鈥淎nd, we ran in the extra points for the win.鈥�
The final score was 33-32.
The win gave Yorkton top spot in the four team league with a 5-1 record, the only loss coming a week earlier against Moosomin.
鈥淚t couldn鈥檛 have been scripted any better. It was a storybook ending,鈥� said MacLean. 鈥淭he girls were right into it. The parents were into it. They鈥檙e going to remember it forever.鈥�
It was a game MacLean said he too was excited to be part of.
鈥淚t was probably the most exciting thing I鈥檝e ever been involved is as a coach in sports,鈥� he said.
