East Anchorage outlasted Bartlett 50-48 in a six-overtime thriller to retain 'The Boot' trophy in honor of Aano Filaoialii.
AOTW: T-Birds endure 6 overtimes to preserve ‘The Boot’ in honor of Aano FiloialiiANCHORAGE, Alaska - East Anchorage and Bartlett High School have battled on the field for Eastside supremacy for decades.
“It is huge for Aano and his family, we always take it personal when we win it and keep it, when we lose it, it really hurts,” East Anchorage head coach Jeff Trotter said. “It has a little bit bigger meaning to us I think because of that.” In the third overtime, neither team was able to find the end zone, sending it to a fourth overtime, where both teams scored a touchdown, but failed on the two-point attempt as neither team was going to attempt a kick.
After Bartlett answered with yet another touchdown, it came down to the two-point attempt, where the Thunderbirds were finally able to stop the Golden Bears at the goal line to secure the 50-48 victory.
