The Otis-Bison High School football team is still standing after two rounds of the Eight-Man Division-II state playoffs.
The Cougars stand with three other teams, B&B Baileyville, Hanover and Ashland. The two teams to compete for the state championship will be determined Friday night at 7.
Hanover at B&B Baileyville
B&B Baileyville remains undefeated at 10-0 counting two postseason wins. The Falcons began the season by enforcing the 45-point rule in their first five wins.
In Week 6, B&B clashed with Hanover. The game lasted to the end of the fourth quarter.
And kept going.
It wasn’t until Logan Haug placed a kick through the uprights that the Falcons edged the Wildcats in overtime, 31-28.
The Falcons were led by Mitch Engelken, who rushed for 102 yards, but Cody Heiman scored three touchdowns. B&B scored all four of its touchdowns on the ground.
Hanover took to the air, scoring three touchdowns with its passing game.
It was the only loss Hanover suffered all season.
Friday, the two teams meet for a rematch.
Ashland at Otis-Bison
Ashland finished the regular season with an 8-0 record. The Blue Jays beat Chase 48-0 in the first round of the playoffs.
Ashland had a little more trouble in round two, but overcame Thunder Ridge 28-22.
The Blue Jays meet the Cougars Friday.
Otis-Bison finished the regular season undefeated, having never finished the full 48 minutes of regulation by scoring more than 45 points than all of its opponents.
Both teams have met with Fowler this season. Ashland beat the Goldbugs, 58-12, during the regular season.
The Cougars ousted Fowler in the first round of the state playoffs, 46-0.
