The Galena High football team pulled off the most improbable upset thanks to Tyler Ewald.
Ewald kicked three field goals as winless Galena stunned previously unbeaten Manogue 9-7 on Saturday at Manogue. Ewald's last field goal of 52 yards with two minutes, 35 seconds left gave the Grizzlies (1-7) a 9-7 lead they would never relinquish.
Galena ended Manogue's 30-game win streak. Manogue (7-1) also came into the game ranked No. 1 in the state.
Ewald's first field goal gave Galena a 3-0 halftime lead and his second field goal of 48 yards cut Manogue's lead to 7-6 with 6:10 left in the game.
After Ewald's second field goal, the Galena defense held and after a bad punt, the Grizzlies got the ball at the Manogue 45-yard line. Michael Houston's 13-yard run set up Ewald's 52-yard field goal that gave Galena the lead.
Houston also had a sack on Manogue's ensuing drive to help secure Galena's lead. Houston then intercepted a pass in the waning seconds to seal the win.
