Area Roundup: Ottawa rallies past Atchison

? Ottawa High shrugged off an early deficit and rallied to a 13-7 football victory against Atchison on Friday.

“Oh, man, it was a huge win,” said OHS coach Pat Boeh, whose team improved to 3-3. “We played a quality opponent that came into our house at 4-1. It should give us some huge momentum going into the playoffs.”

Atchison scored first, but OHS responded with touchdowns in the second and fourth quarters. Vashon Perryman’s 1-yard run in the second and Michael Espinosa’s PAT made it 7-6. And Dom Nation pulled down a 25-yard TD pass from Gabe Sheffield in the fourth.

“Football’s played four quarters,” Boeh said. “They scored first, but we knew we were going to continue to do what we had game-planned. The kids executed down the stretch.”
