Safford vs Wickenburg
This was an good ole’ fashion shootout. Neither defense was able to keep up with the offense in a 48-47 Wrangler win in overtime. The teams entered OT tied at 41. Wickenburg scored on their possession, forcing the Bulldogs to keep up. Safford punched in a score and decided to go for the two point conversion and the win, it came up short and Wickenburg escaped with the W. Safford is 0-2 coming into the Rivalry Game with Thatcher this week.
Safford’s offense showed signs of life after a slow start to the season at Snowflake.
