The Oswego Indians and head coach Matt Fowler are heading into the sectional round after a 22-16 victory over Washington County, earning the program's second regional playoff win in school history and its first since 2009.

Oswego forced five turnovers without giving the ball away once, taking control of the contest with a 22-8 lead heading into the fourth quarter. The Indians' defense then stepped up in the final period to preserve the victory and keep their postseason run alive.

One of those five takeaways came in the second half when senior Wyatt McClure intercepted a Tiger pass and returned it for a touchdown. Fowler says that moment ranks among the top 10 of his 18 years coaching football, especially with the home crowd erupting as McClure reached the end zone.

The Indians will now face the Canton-Galva Eagles with a trip to the state semifinals in the balance. Fowler says the Eagles are playing their best football late in the season, with the pressure off their shoulders as they embrace the underdog role.

Oswego and Canton-Galva will meet tonight, with the winner advancing to face either South Sumner or Clifton-Clyde in the sub-state round next Friday.
