Walworth Big Foot High School’s football team dug in down the stretch to hold off visiting Delavan-Darien, 28-21, in a nonconference thriller Friday night.

The Chiefs (2-0), No. 4 in the AP middle-sized school state ratings, built a 28-7 lead in the third period and turned back Delavan-Darien’s fourth-quarter comeback bid with key defensive plays and critical first downs on offense.

Steve Dowden’s 20-yard touchdown pass to Nathan Nagel helped put Big Foot up for good, 14-7, late in the second quarter. Matt Fogerty’s 32-yard touchdown run helped push the lead to 28-7 with 8:20 left in the third quarter.

Delavan-Darien followed with a long kickoff return to Big Foot’s 9-yard line. Michael Gonzalez scored three plays later on a 3-yard run as the Comets pulled within 28-14 with 6:21 left in the third period.

The Comets then had a third-and-goal at the 3 late in the third quarter, but Big Foot’s Mike Walker stopped the threat with an interception at the 1. However, Zach Neiger’s 5-yard touchdown run with 5:48 left in the game helped pull Delavan-Darien within 28-21.

Big Foot picked up four first downs on its ensuing offensive series before punting the Comets down to their 3-yard line with 1:50 remaining. Brad McDonnell then sealed the Chiefs’ victory with an interception in the final minute.

Walker rushed 17 times for 162 yards to lead Big Foot’s 335-yard ground game. T.J. Schaid had 139 yardws on 18 carries for the Chiefs, with Gonzalez threw for 209 yards to lead Delavan-Darien’s offense.
