Kaplan able to hold off Erath
KAPLAN - The Kaplan Pirates used their best defense to keep the Erath Bobcats from scoring more points in the fourth period.
The Pirates’ best defense was its offense.
The Bobcats scored a touchdown with 1:17 to play in the game and closed the Pirates’ lead 30-25.
The Bobcats needed to stop Kaplan to get the ball back for a chance to win the game.
But things did not go too well for the Bobcats. Instead, Erath got three penalties, including two back-to-back 15-yard penalties that allowed Kaplan to run out the clock and secure the victory.
