LAKE STEVENS — Almost everyone on the field at Vikings Stadium thought the first half was over after Graham-Kapowsin blocked Lake Stevens’ 50-yard field goal attempt as time expired.

Almost.

As the linemen picked themselves up from the turf and the visitors’ sideline erupted, Lake Stevens junior Will Lynch looked around and spotted the ball on the ground. Out of disappointment and frustration, he kicked it. That’s when he realized he hadn’t heard a whistle blown yet.

Lynch picked up the ball and looked around, noticing no one else was running towards him. Then he heard a voice from his own sideline cutting through the noise.

“My coach yells, ‘Run it!’ And I’m like, ‘Alright.’” Lynch said. “So I just run and nobody caught me, so there we go.”
