After pulling to within three points of Piedmont, El Reno head coach Chuck Atchison and his El Reno High School football team had to stare at the scoreboard as time ticked slowly away on the 2019 season.

With no timeouts to stop play, El Reno was forced to watch the Wildcats milk off the final 2:15 of the fourth period to preserve a 24-21 win over the Indians in the bi-district round of the Class 5A playoffs.
