King’s blocks extra point kick, wins in OT
SHORELINE — King’s Curtis Clauson won’t be remembered for his five catches for 55 yards and a touchdown.
It was the one play that King’s special teams coach Daunte Gouge dialed up in the overtime that vaulted King’s (8-3 overall) to a 28-27 overtime victory over Onalaska in the class 1A state football tournament.
Lined up on the outside, Clauson rushed around the line and put a huge block on Onalaksa’s point after try. Thomas Vincent then drove the Knights 25 yards for the tying score and Nick Swanson kicked the game-winning extra point.
“He came right around the corner, blocked the kick, and our bench just erupted,” King’s head coach Jim Shapiro said. “It was his first block of the season, we saw it on film and knew we could send him.”
Paul Lutgen led King’s with three solo tackles and 13 assists, Shapiro adding that “Paul was everywhere on the field.”
