Down to the last play: COS Eagles beat Shasta in season opener
Siskiyou Daily News
After a seriously delayed season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the College of the Siskiyous Eagles had a game to remember versus the Shasta Knights on the road in Redding Saturday afternoon.
With seven seconds left in the fourth quarter in the season opener for both teams, the Eagles were down 16-13. With the ball on Shasta s 37-yard line, COS had time for one last play. Freshman signal-caller O.J. Calleja dropped back and heaved the ball toward the endzone in one last gasp of a play. It appeared Shasta defender Jaiden Harris would pick the ball off, but it went through his hands and was tipped as sophomore Ted Wickman came down with the ball around the five-yard-line and ran into the endzone as time expired for the improbable 19-13 victory.
