Colville Needed That Extra Point

Border League

Those PATs can be darn important.

Just ask the Colville Indians.

Dane Bassett caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Eric Rice with 33 seconds remaining for the Indians, but a botched snap on the extra point sent the game into overtime.

Matt Risley dove in from 3-yards out and scored the two-point conversion as the West Valley Eagles downed the visiting Indians 30-29 in a Border League football game Friday night.

In overtime, West Valley lined up to kick the extra point that would have sent the game into a second overtime, but an offside penalty convinced the Eagles to go for two.
