Linn-Mar tops Washington in overtime thriller
Everyone expected a hard fought, exciting and memorable football battle when Linn-Mar hosted Cedar Rapids Washington.
That's exactly what the Warriors and Lions delivered.
In a wild, seesaw affair, the sixth-ranked Lions won a thriller over No. 10 Washington, forcing and recovering a Warrior fumble on the goalline in the first overtime for a 42-35 victory in a Mississippi Valley Conference battle at Armstrong Field.
Washington faced a 1st-and-5 after a Linn-Mar encroachment penalty to start the Warriors first possession in overtime. As Washington running back fought for the score the ball came out and Brandon Allen grabbed possession of the ball, ending the game and keeping the Lions unbeaten at 7-0.
