Otero’s Last-Second Field Goal Lifts Greene County Tech Past Wynne

Greene County Tech 17, Wynne 14

PARAGOULD — Ashton Addison powered the Golden Eagles after halftime with two bruising touchdown runs, and Nicholas Otero coolly hit a walk‑off field goal to cap a hard‑nosed home win Friday night in Paragould.

Scoreless through one, the game tilted when Wynne’s Christian Wren broke loose down the left boundary for a second‑quarter touchdown. Tech’s defense settled and spent the night tackling in space, with OLB/WR Lane Comptonand CB Brock Branch stacking stops at the edge. Quarterback Tucker Beasley kept the offense on schedule, mixing quick throws with designed keepers, while TE/DE Gad Stanley’s third‑down grab and sophomore Andrew Wegner’ssideline reception extended the defining drive of the fourth.

Addison, a junior RB, shouldered the bulk of the carries on Tech’s pistol and bunch looks, punching in the tying score midway through the third and the go‑ahead touchdown early in the fourth. After Wynne answered to make it 14‑14, Beasley steered a deliberate two‑minute drill highlighted by Addison’s bursts between the tackles to set up Otero, the Golden Eagles’ kicker/punter, for the deciding kick as time expired.

Wynne showed plenty of grit. QB Grant Oguin commanded a steady option‑based attack, safety Ashton McDaniel delivered timely chain‑moving runs out of Wildcat looks, and RB/OLB Braydon Smith added physical yards to help set up the Yellowjackets’ fourth‑quarter equalizer. Wren’s long touchdown and late sideline dash underscored the Jackets’ speed, but Tech’s situational defense and special teams swung the final margin.
