Huskies pull the upset in Wyopreps' game of the week.

2008 could be known as the year of the PAT. It seems nearly each week, several games are decided by a missed or made kick or conversion after scores.

Cokeville lead 6-0 at halftime. Dallin Fiscus scored on a 3 yard carry after a 14 play 75 yard drive. The Panther PAT was blocked by the Huskies.

Burlington mounted a drive near the end of the half but a pass fell to the cold, wet turf in the endzone as time expired on the first half.

Burlington scored on a Spencer Flores 8 yard run in the second half. They capped it with the PAT for their first ever win over the Panthers.

Flores ended with 90 yards rushing and a whole bunch more on kick and punt returns. The Huskies are 5-1 overall while Cokeville drops to 4-1.
