Ponies mount huge comeback against Laurel

From a big road win last weekend to perhaps the biggest win of the season thus far.

Last Friday night, the Havre High football team pulled off a massive comeback win against No. 4 Laurel in a 27-20 victory at Blue Pony Stadium.

Taking the early lead, and shutting out the high-powered Locomotives in the first half, Havre saw its 7-0 edge slip away in the third period as Laurel ripped off 20 unanswered points.

And yet, head coach Jake Eldridge's team never quit. 

Down 20-7, Havre rallied for two scores, including the game-tying touchdown with less than nine minutes left in the game. The Ponies then went on what would be a game-winning drive, capped off by a Griffin Terry touchdown run with just a few minutes left in the contest.

From there, it was Havre's defense that stood tall as the Ponies didn't allow Laurel a chance to truly mount a game-tying drive.

Terry came up clutch for the Ponies, while Colter Solomon had a huge game on both sides of the ball as the Ponies improved to 6-2 on the season and are now tied for second in the Eastern A.

Havre will travel to Sidney this Friday for a showdown with the Eagles before coming home to host Lewsitown in the regular season finale. The win over Laurel also clinched a playoff berth for the Blue Ponies, who are having an exciting season.
