There might have been a power outage at Woodlawn Field in the last 1:22 of the football game Tuesday afternoon but there was no power outage in the Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs offence late in the game in their victory over the Moose Jaw Vanier Vikings.

The Elecs scored four touchdowns in the second half, figuring out the Vanier defence in time for their first win in Moose Jaw High School Football League action in two years.

Jonah Bachorcik worked hard for his two touchdown receptions, getting his second major with 1:57 on the clock remaining in the game. The Elecs then got a huge interception return from Colton Kolakowski on the Vikings next drive, just as across the street from the field, a tree apparently fell on a power line, cutting power to the field and making the rest of the game run by cellphone timers of off-field officials.

A 22-yard pass from Elecs quarterback Kaleb Bechtold to Rylan Erdelyan, and a two-point convert to Bachorcik, gave the Elecs the two possession lead at 20-7,

The Vanier quarterback fumbled in their next possession and Brennan Stubel picked up the ball and ran a few yards into the end zone for the 26-7 win.

The Elecs’ next action is Saturday against the Weyburn Eagles.
