Brandon Womack is 3-3 in game winning kicks this season, adding yet another clincher to his resume on Saturday as Jewell football held off Lincoln University 34-31 in Jefferson City, Missouri.

The junior's kick came from the left hashmark 30 yards away with no time left on the clock.  It capped a day in which the Cardinal offense shined for a half, but the Cardinal defense was under pressure in the second half.

Jewell scored on Tre Mask's one-yard reception to open the game with a 7-0 lead, and extended the lead on two Thomas Cook, Jr. runs of 38 and 6 yards, along with a Womack 28 yard field goal, to lead at half 24-14.

The second half opened with Justice Taylor's second interception of the game, along with his 46 yard return for a touchdown, to push the lead to 31-14.  The Blue Tigers (1-9, 0-7 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference), though, made a change in quarterback as they went to sophomore Dennis Vinson, and the game turned at that point with Vinson leading :Lincoln to 17 straight points to tie the game at 31.

The Cardinal defense, despite giving up the points, was mostly solid after Lincoln pulled to within 31-24 with 5:12 left in the third quarter.  Lincoln finally scored the tying touchdown on a long catch and run with 3:36 left, setting up the late game heroics by Womack.

The Cardinals started the game-winning drive with 3:31 left,going 62 yards on 11 plays highlighted by a Nick West pass to Mask on 4th down to keep the drive alive.  After two timeouts, Womack calmly hit his third game winning field goal of the season (all on the road), to give the Cardinals the win and push their record to 4-6 (4-4).

Defensively, Quayde Bauman had three sacks for Jewell and led with seven tackles; Isaac Dozier and Zach Haynes also had seven tackles.

Womack is 11-13 in field goals this year, with each miss coming on a block.

Jewell wraps up the year next Saturday at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in a 2:00 (CST) game.
