Ludlowe Wins 10-8!

Ludlowe emerges victorious over Warde on last second field goal

Wow, what an exciting Thanksgiving Classic. Both teams came ready to play. Ludlowe scored first and lead 7-0 for most of the game. Warde finally broke into the scoring column with just over six minutes to go in the game. Their touchdown made it 7-6 and then rather than taking the safe route they gambled and went for a two point conversion. Warde made it to take an 8-7 lead. Things were looking gloomy for Ludlowe but with the help of a couple of penalties they moved the ball down to the 8 yard line of the Mustangs. They ran the ball three straight times only getting to the 5 yard line. On fourth and goal with 11 seconds showing on the clock, the Falcon kicker put it through the uprights for a 10-8 Ludlowe win.

It was a great football game. No one left early. The game was won on the final play. It doesn't get any closer than that. Most of all, the town won. There were several thousand people in attendance. Easily the largest crowd in over 15 years. They were treated to an exciting display of quality football by two very enthusiastic and competitive teams.

Special thanks goes to all the parents, players and coaches that made this such a memorable event. Thank you all!
