CHS JV falls in OT to SVWW
<span>Tyler Winchester hauled in an 18-yard pass from quarterback Reid Basso in the extra session, and the Sesser-Valier-Waltonville-Woodlawn junior varsity team escaped W.O. Smith Field with a 14-8 overtime victory over Chester on Monday.</span>
<span>Chester led 8-0 for most of the game thanks to a 60-yard touchdown run from sophomore tailback Jack Hathaway with 4.9 seconds left in the first quarter. Clayton Richelman got the conversion reception on a pass from quarterback Calvin Clendenin.</span>
<span>S-V-W-W tied the game on another touchdown pass from Basso with 1:41 left in the third quarter and added the conversion to knot the game at 8.</span>
<span>Chester (2-2) had a chance to end the game in regulation after the Yellow Jackets recovered a S-V-W-W fumble on the CHS 34 with 53.3 seconds left.</span>
<span>Chester made it to the Red Devils' 26, but quarterback Nick Meyer threw the team's fifth interception of the game to end the threat.</span>
