Western News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 16 years, 2 months AGO
Columbia Falls rallied from an eight-point deficit over the final 5:05 of regulation to defeat Libby on Friday night, 22-21.
Libby's T.J. Benson finished with seven catches for 228 yards – or 93 percent of the Logger offense – but even those numbers could not keep the Wildcats from the win column. Benson scored on TD receptions of 54 and 91 yards. Justin Thrailkill scored for LHS to cap a short drive that began inside the 10 after a blocked punt by Kyle Sweedman.

Troy kept the bats hot in the second game, plating 21 runs to end that game early as well, 21-11.
