- Estill County 35, Western Hills 32

Estill County made the hour and half, 70+ mile drive to Frankfort Friday to take on the Wolverines of Western Hills in a big district game.

 

Both teams’ defense would stand tall in the first as neither team would score. Estill had a pass intercepted on the 7 yard line. Western Hills was stopped inside the 5 yard line.

 

Western Hills would strike first as Nick Young would run it in from 17 yards out, Western Hills two point conversion run would fail, making it 6-0 Wolverines. That wouldn’t last long as the Engineers would answer with a touchdown run of their own courtesy of Trevor Jones from 3 yards out. Levi Tipton would miss the extra point kick, tying the game at 6-6. Hills would strike again, this time on a 17 yard touchdown pass from Nick Young to Cody Williams. Nick Young’s extra point kick would fail, making it 12-6 Hills. There would be a long delay after this touchdown as on the kickoff, Estill County’s Greg Stamper was hit hard and was down for 20+ minutes and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. That seemed to motivate the Engineers as either the next play or the play after that, Trevor Jones would have a 75 yard touchdown run, Taylor Tate would throw the two point conversion pass to Trevor Jones, making it 14-12 Engineers. Hills would score right before halftime on a 4 yard run by Nick Young. Hills two point conversion pass would fail, making it 18-14 Hills at Halftime.

 

Hills would strike first in the third quarter on a 46 yard run by Nick Young, Cody Williams would run in the two point conversion, making it 26-14 Hills. Estill, however, would answer, on a 41 yard run by Trevor Jones. Levi Tipton would miss the extra point kick, making it 26-20 Hills. Before the third quarter came to an end, Hills would add another score, this time Cody Williams runs it in from 44 yards out, Hills two point conversion pass would fail, making it 32-20 Hills going to the final frame.

 

Estill would be the first to strike, as Jon Collins would run it in from 20 yards out on the option, Levi Tipton would finally make the extra point kick, making it 32-27 Hills. Both teams' defense would stand tall as each team would stop each teams’ offense. With right around 2-3 minutes left, Estill would strip the ball from Western Hills and none other than Estill’s Trevor Jones came up with the fumble, Hills defense would stand tall on the first three plays as it brought up 4^th & 4 for the Engineers, this play would decide the game, Engineers calls two timeouts, Trevor Jones scrambled around and threw it over the middle to Deron Miller as he goes up over Hills’ Tyree Childers to make the catch in the endzone for the touchdown. Trevor Jones would run in the two point conversion, making it 35-32 Engineers with 1:35 left. Estill kicks it deep and Hills takes over at the 29 yard line. After three plays and an ineligible receiver down field was called on Hills, brought up 4^th & 25/27, Nick Young on the scramble has enough for the first down but the ball is ripped and Estill recovers, ending the game with 13 seconds left.

 

Estill County improves to 4-4, 3-1 district play and will host Garrard County on October 25^th

Western Hills falls to 1-6, 0-3 district play and will travel to Garrard County next Friday.
