WIBAUX - Eric Steinebach ran for two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to rally the Superior Bobcats past the Wibaux Longhorns 28-21 in the Class C 8-man football championship on Saturday.

The Bobcats overcame a 21-6 halftime deficit to claim the school's first-ever state football title.

Steinebach scored the game-winning touchdown with 2:45 left in the game.

On the ensuing drive, Wibaux marched down the field, but the Bobcat defense recovered a fumble at their own 23-yard line with 54 seconds remaining to seal the victory.

" Congratulations to the Superior Bobcats. I understand that a sizeable group of fans went from Superior to watch the game; it must have been exciting to have been there. My mother lives in Superior and she was pleased to hear about the come-from behind victory. What a great accomplishment!

" Does Superiors' 37-14 win over Bozeman Holy Rosary in 1965 not count as a State Championship? The Trophy said State Champions on it!
I know, as I was the coach of the team that came in second, and Dale Zorn coached the Champions!
Good goin' Bobcats!(Again!)
