Howell survived a scare from M-59 rival Hartland on Friday, winning in overtime, 28-27, when star running back/linebacker Bryce Kish (Clemson commit) blocked the Eagles' extra-point kick. He knifed through the line and blocked it with his left hand, which is encased in a green cast. He felt it, but didn't know he'd stopped it until he saw the reaction of the sideline. "I honestly thought they were still going to like for an offensive attempt, and they got the flag and got moved back, so they're going to kick it. I seen the gap last time they scored on the PAT, so I shot that gap and you know gave my all and came up with the came up with the block," Kish said. "I just stuck the club up, and got a piece of it. I could feel it. I knew I hit it, and I just saw the whole sideline erupt, and I just immediately thanked the Lord."
