Perkins-Tryon ends Heritage Hall's 92-game win streak in district football games

Perkins-Tryon's football team talked about it all week. "Beat the Streak." The Demons indeed stopped Heritage Hall's incredible 92-game win streak in district games Friday night, with a thrilling 42-41 victory before an estimated 2,000 fans at Pop Murray Field. The streak, all coming during coach Brett Bogert's 12-year tenure at the Oklahoma City private school, ended after the Chargers' two-point conversion pass sailed out of the end zone with 38 seconds left in the game. Heritage Hall (6-3 overall and 5-1 in District 3A-3) had scored a touchdown on Porter England's 89-yard run off a lateral. Heritage Hall lined up for a point-after kick, but an offside penalty moved the ball to the 1-yard line. The Chargers' coaching staff gambled and called for a two-point conversion to win the game, but quarterback Teagan Lawson's pass went over the outstretched arms of two receivers and out of the end zone. More: Mount St. Mary outlasts Kingfisher, inching closer to OSSAA football history The Chargers tried an onside kick, but the ball bounced out of bounds. No. 3-ranked Perkins-Tryon (7-2, 5-1) now has a chance to not only win the district next week, but it can also deny No. 6 Heritage
