    Jack H. Smith, Whitehall Ledger|Oct 30, 2019

Trailing 20-0 with 1:29 left in the first quarter to Big Timber, the three sets of lights on the visitor's side of Trojans field shut off and moments later another set on the Whitehall side of the field would turn off. After nearly a 30-minute delay, a decision was made to cancel the game giving the Herders the win by forfeit.
