Fort Hays State @ Washburn

           The Ichabods were in a dog fight on Saturday with Fort Hays State University. The game was a close one all the way through, and both teams had their up and down's. The teams were tied late in the 4th quarter and Washburn had the ball near their endzone. The Bods began to drive down the field and eventually quarterback Zeke Palmer hit Vershon Moore coming out of the backfield for a 21 yard reception. With 40 seconds left and nearing the endzone, the Ichabod's were beginning to have hope until Zeke Palmer threw an interception and the drive stopped. Fort Hays then kneeled the ball and the game went into overtime.

            Hays got the ball first in overtime and began to move the ball, but were stopped by the stout Washburn defense and were forced to kick a field goal making the score 24-21, Tigers. Washburn now had their chance and they capitalized on it by moving the ball steadily to start their drive. Zeke Palmer then threw a dart to the back of the endzone to Dajuan Beard on what was initially called a touchdown. The Bod players stormed the field in celebration, as the refs discussed the call and eventually made the questionable decision to rule the catch incomplete. The teams calmed down and came back onto the field and on the very next play running back Vershon Moore scurried up the middle for a 15 yard touchdown run which resulted in a 27-24 Ichabod Victory.

            Next Saturday Washburn travels to Warrensburg, Missouri to play the University of Central Missouri. The game begins at 1:30pm, central time
