 On Saturday afternoon Lake Bemidji was home to the happiest, coldest group of football players as the Beavers football team was victorious for their ninth straight homecoming game. But getting there was a lot more difficult than in years past. Happy times on the sidelines for Sioux Falls early but things changed pretty quickly after that. Gabe Watson entered as the nation's second leading rusher had three touchdowns on the game. This one from 39 yards out and the Cougars they would jump out to a 21 to three lead. But then the comeback began. Andrew Likowski in the Wildcat follows his blockers, gets in from five out and makes it 21 to nine. They go for two. Likowski in the Wildcat once again looking like a young Tim Tebow with a jump pass to Mack Rose. 21-11 cuts it to 10. At the end of the third quarter, Jared Henning showing off the arm hits Jameson White from 40 yards out in stride. That cuts it to a three-point game and with three minutes left in the fourth quarter, Likowski again doing it all day long. His second touchdown from the Wildcat and the defense makes a stop leading to a hard-fought dip in the leg for the Beavers. They win 25-21 and even when things looked bleak, Beavers knew they had what it took to make a memorable comeback. We knew at halftime the game wasn't over. We had two decent plays on us on Shortfield and they were able to screw on us and we knew that it wasn't over after that. We just had to come back out here and play our game and I played game-green defense. It's my senior year. This is my last go-around with homecoming so I wanted to make it last and make it count. I definitely did that as much as the guys. You know there's been times where people were questioning who we played a little bit and I was like, hey we'll play anybody any time so just had a chance to play Sioux Falls. I'm like, hey let's do it. Let's get a big gate. Let's get the crowd into it because the people and the fans were phenomenal. That was one of the most electric reminder environments I've been at in the fourth quarter so it all worked out extremely well. And the team getting recognition after their 5-1 start receiving votes in the coaches poll for the first time since early last year.
