SIEGEL 28, LA VERGNE 27

After a week of uncertainty with three county games cancelled due to COVID-19, the Friday night lights did shine for some teams with a Saturday special coming up by one team as well.

The WGNS microphones were at "The Den" in La Vergne for their in-county, non-region game with Siegel. The game was close throughout, with the Stars pulling out their second one-point victory in a row 28-27. The Wolverines scored with 4:55 left in the game but a failed two-point conversion left them behind. Siegel was able to rattle off several first downs to run out the clock.

The Wolverines' Zante Clark had 10-carries for 127-yards and this 86-yard touchdown to give them a 13-6 lead early in the second quarter:



They would add another score with 1:40 left in the first half. But with three-seconds left in the half, Siegel quarterback Thomas Santel found wide receiver Tracy Shaw:

Siegel would score twice more to take a 28-21 lead early in the first quarter and they held on for victory.
