Oklahoma state college notebook: East Central's Armonty Bryant plays well after return from suspension

*Northeastern State kicker Drew Patton had an eventful game Saturday.

After making two field goals in the first half of the RiverHawks' victory against Central Oklahoma, Ashton Dandy blocked his third attempt in the third quarter to keep it a one-possession game.

Still, Patton hit the game-winning field goal with 1:53 remaining.

“They were coming up the middle all game; they had a good rush,” Patton said. “Honestly, the last kick it wasn't as high as I'd liked it to be been, but I couldn't have done it without my line. It was a chip shot. I just had to get it up and in there.”

On top of the block, Patton had to deal with the strong winds.

“It was brutal out there,” he said. “It added about probably 20 yards on a field goal with the wind and took off probably about 30 against it. You really had to drive the ball. It cut down on my range a lot against it.”

Northeastern finished its season 4-6. The RiverHawks won their last four games.
