Week 6 prep football roundup: Pullman wins second straight after starting 0-4, upsets Rogers in overtime

From staff reports

Roundup of Friday’s Greater Spokane League football action.

After starting the year 0-4, the Pullman Greyhounds have found a winning formula and turned their season around.

Adi Alshuwayhi kicked a 26-yard field goal in overtime to send the Greyhounds to their second straight win, a 19-16 decision over visiting Rogers on Friday night in GSL 2A play.

Pullman (2-4, 2-2) went up 16-2 early in the fourth quarter on Alshuwayhi’s 25-yard field goal, but the Pirates (3-3, 2-2) rallied back with a 79-yard touchdown catch from Ronald Warrick VI and a short rushing touchdown from Roman Gumm to send the game to an extra period. But the Rogers rally fell short and Pullman pulled off the upset to give its season new life.

The Greyhounds opened the scoring with a 25-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter from Hunter Recknagle. No Greyhounds posted more than 100 yards in any category, but Pullman used a balanced attack and solid defense to turn back the Pirates.

Warrick led Rogers with 102 receiving yards.
