EFFINGHAM, Kan. — Atchison County Community High School was not supposed to win Friday against Holton.
In fact, the Tigers weren’t supposed to come within 10 touchdowns. Although the underdogs didn’t win, they weren’t about to let another team cover that kind of a spread on homecoming.
“We were 72.5-point underdogs, and we played our hearts out,” said ACCHS coach Terry Porter, whose team fell to the Wildcats 41-10. “I’m tickled for all my coaches, Cy Wallisch, John Wetig and Pat Kearney. They did a heck of a job. We really worked and schemed and felt that they were underestimating us. I’m just so proud."

“The team is hurtin’ because they know it was a game we should’ve won,” said Atchison coach Jim Smith, whose brother Chuck coaches Colgan. “There were a lot of nerves. I didn’t think I’d be so nervous.”
