The Blooming Prairie Awesome Blossoms used some late-game heroics as they defeated Fillmore Central (1-1) 18-12 Friday night in Blooming Prairie (2-0).
Blossoms’ quarterback Seth Peterson hit Payton Simon for a 28-yard touchdown with 2:08 left in the game for the win. Peterson was 17-for-28 with 215 yards on the night with a pair of TD strikes while Simon would end the night with 46 yards receiving on three catches.
“We would get a score and then they would respond and then kept answering until right there at the end,” coach Chad Gimbel said. “ I thought both teams played pretty well at times and then both teams would make some mistakes.”
The Blossoms rushed for 179 yards with most of those coming on Max Romeo’s 22 carries for 141 yards.
