It took double overtime, but the Cochrane-Fountain City High School football team is headed to the state championship.
The Pirates got by the Oshkosh Lourdes 17-14 in the Division 7 semifinals and now take on Kenosha St. Joseph Catholic (13-0) at Camp Randall at 10 a.m. Thursday.
It’s the first time to state for the Pirates.
Ethan Smith opened up the scoring for C-FC (13-0) with a 2-yard run that with the extra point, put them up 7-0 in the first quarter.
Both teams battled through three quarters to end in a 14-14 tie.
The defenses led the way in the fourth quarter with no scoring by either side. The lines fought through the first overtime with neither team scoring.
In double OT, an attempt by the Knights to score failed which set up an opportunity for C-FC’s Robert Moya to get the win and trip to Madison.
His kick went through the uprights and into the school’s history books.
WKTY…
