Alma Upset
The Alma Scots traveled to Alliance, Ohio on Saturday as huge underdogs to the powerhouse Mount Union. Alma kept the game within two scores until the fourth quarter when they scored 24 points, the final seven coming on an 11 play, 96 yard drive with under two minutes to play. That score was enough to seal the unlikely victory and send the Scots onto the next round of the playoffs and a date with Cortland.
