Down to the wire for Coaler win

THE VARSITY COALERS improve to 2-0 after scoring a touchdown with just 11 seconds left in the game to defeat Lisle 14-7 Friday night. Coal City had a 7-0 lead in the fourth quarter, thanks to a 7-yard touchdown run by Danny Norton earlier in the game, when the visiting Lions scored to tie it up. It looked like the two teams would go into overtime when Coaler quarterback Payton Hutchings found Kaleb Sprietzer for a 61-yard touchdown pass to win. Running the ball is Conner Skubic who finished with 31 yards against Lisle. Coal City travels to Streator Friday.
