On Friday night, the stars were aligned for the Webster County Highlander football team to grab a playoff spot with a win against visiting Clay County. All four teams that Webster needed to lose tonight for Webster to move into the 16th and final playoff spot did in fact lose. Unfortunately, so did the Highlanders, 8 to 7, and with the loss, their season and playoff hopes came to a crashing end. Webster led tonight's game 7 to 0 until Clay grabbed and 8 to 7 lead in the fourth quarter. With time running out, the Highlanders drove to the Clay 3 yard line, but a penalty and a muffed snap on a potential game winning field goal sealed the Highlander's fate, and Clay took over on downs and ran the clock out.
