For a low-scoring game it was rather exciting with lots of big plays and camaraderie as 20 West seniors experienced a great way to end the season.

Barring the astronomically low chances of a tie, only one NHIAA Division III football team was leaving Friday night undefeated and that team turned out to be the Pioneers of Trinity High School.
