Attendees of Friday night's varsity football game versus the Odem Owls were treated to an excellent display of coaching and athletic prowess. Skidmore entered the game as the underdog and emerged victorious in a hard fought battle that ended in overtime. With the score tied 14-14 at the completion of the fourth quarter, Skidmore won the toss and elected to allow Odem to receive the ball first - an action that raised a few eyebrows among Skidmore fans. Sure enough, Odem scored and, with an extra point kick, took the lead 21-14. Our boys weren't about to give up however. A quick first down put the Bobcats in scoring position where the S-T coaches decided to "go for 2" and the win. At 4th and goal, a deflected pass from Blake Stautzenberger sent a triumphant cheer from the Odem sidelines that was quickly silenced by the appearance of a penalty flag. Pass interference was the call giving Skidmore one more opportunity to score. This time, the ball was handed off to Matt Mantei who put Cats over the top quite literally by diving over the Odem defense into the end zone for the winning touchdown. A second triumphant cheer erupted, now from the Bobcat side of the Stadium as Odem spectators could only watch in stunned silence. Final score 22-21. What a game!

Request for Help in Hit and Run
Late Saturday night or early Sunday morning on the weekend of September 18-19, someone struck a small blue car parked on 3rd Street between Sullivan and E. Patricio. The vehicle was traveling north towards Corrigan road, veered right off the roadway and struck the parked car with enough force to spin it around completely. The vehicle's owner is requesting help in locating the hit and run driver. The parked car was completely totaled and the owner had only liability insurance. Paint left on the totaled vehicle suggested it was struck by a white or light colored car or truck. Based on the damage it is likely the offending vehicle would have damage to the right front grill and traces of blue paint from the car that was damaged. Please contact the Skidmore Signal if you have any information.
