HAMPTON – Completely in the driver’s seat after taking the second half kickoff 77 yards on 11 plays to take a 22-0 lead, two turnovers and a high snap on a punt completely turned the tables on the Hampton-Dumont football team.
Osage scored 34 unanswered in the final 16 minutes, 7 seconds to foil the Bulldogs’ first attempt at a win this season in a 34-22 loss to the Green Devils on Friday, Oct. 14.
One of the turnovers was an onside kick recovery that extended Osage’s possession time following a score and turned a 22-0 lead to 22-16 in the span of two minutes.
