Edgar falters late as Wildcats bid for 4th consecutive state trip ends
EDGAR — Edgar's season and pursuit for a fourth consecutive trip to Madison for the football state championships came down to one final possession Friday night. The Wildcats had a chance to complete a late comeback against Lomira in a WIAA Division 6 Level 3 playoff game, but couldn't find the go-ahead points in a 16-12 loss. Edgar pulled within two when Landon Lukasko powered into the end zone with 7:04 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats attempted an option pass on the two-point conversion, but the attempt fell incomplete, leaving Lomira with a 14-12 advantage.

Edgar's defense gave the Wildcats another opportunity, forcing a Lomira punt with less than seven minutes remaining. But the Wildcats' hopes of completing the comeback took another hit on the first play of their ensuing possession. A safety with 2:24 remaining spelled disaster and pushed Lomira's lead to 16-12, where it held on to hand the Wildcats their season-ending loss.
