The Holdenville Wolverines played host to an extremely good Christian Heritage team last Friday and dropped a hard fought contest by a score of 29-14. The game was much closer than the score would indicate. Holdenville was behind 21-6 in the 4th quarter when they scored and added two more points on the conversion. The Wolverines had closed the gap to 21-14 and Holdenville had the Crusaders on their heels. That’s when things got weird. Holdenville attempted an onside kick and a Crusader defender signaled for a fair catch and dropped the ball. Holdenville recovered the dropped kick and Coach Lewis prepared to send the Wolverine offense back on the field. It was an obvious fair catch signal and an obvious fumble. Obvious to everyone but the officials said there was an inadvertent whistle and the rule called for a re-kick. The Holdenville coaches were obviously upset and wanted an explanation. There was no explanation just a matter of fact that there would be a re-kick because one of the officials had blown his whistle pre-maturely. The Holdenville sideline was obviously upset and the referee flagged Holdenville twice. Now, the game had changed! Holdenville was forced to re-kick from their own fifteen yard line.
