Piqua Kardiac Kids In Waiting
Piqua won its second straight overtime contest Friday with a dramatic 19-16 win over Springboro. Last week the Indians outlasted Fairfield 13-7 in triple overtime.
Star of the game: Quarterback Cole Selsor stretched his body out over the goal line to score on a four-yard run, giving the Indians the win in OT.
Turning point: With 4:40 to go in regulation, Selsor converted a fourth-and-five on the 45 with a 26-yard run. The Indians would score six plays later.
What this means: Piqua served fair warning that it will be a factor again in the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division despite heavy graduation losses from last year’s 8-4 playoff team. Players like untested Selsor have emerged in the early going. Tempering the win was a left knee injury to linebacker and leading tackler Cody Gutierrez.
Quote: “Give credit to Piqua. They made couple great plays down the stretch in regulation to send it in overtime and the quarterback gave a great effort on the goal line at the end,” said Springboro coach Ryan Wilhite. “Our hearts are broken — coaches and players — because we thought the effort was there for our first win.”
On deck: Piqua visits Springfield.
