In a heart-wrenching turn of events, the Enigmas, Question Mark High School's football team, faced a narrow defeat in their 2022 home opener. The game, held yesterday evening, ended in a one-point victory for the Gallipolis Gargoyles, continuing the Enigmas' long-standing streak of no wins since the school's establishment.
The match was a nail-biter, with both teams displaying remarkable skill and determination. The Enigmas, who have become a symbol of perseverance and community spirit in Question Mark, played arguably their best game in years. The final moments were tense, with the Enigmas in striking distance of their first-ever victory, as Ephraim Towns rushed for a thirty yard run, only to have it slip away in the closing seconds after an unfortunate fumble by Lloyd Friend.
Local fan and alumni, Dale Bradley, expressed his disappointment but remained optimistic: "It was so close, you could feel the excitement in the air. Despite another loss, these kids played their hearts out. We're proud of them, and it's just a matter of time before the Enigmas finally clinch that ever-elusive win."
