Things didn’t look promising for La Grande in the fourth quarter of its first-round 4A playoff game against Sweet Home at Eastern Oregon University’s Community Stadium.

The Tigers lost sophomore quarterback Jack Musgrove to a rib injury late in the third quarter, forcing coach Dalton Sheets to move star receiver Landon Hood behind center.

They trailed 17-14 after Keeghan Gittins kicked a 29-yard field goal (his first of the season) with 10:18 remaining, and they’d just been stopped on fourth-and-2 from the Huskies 22 with 5:38 to play.
