They lost the game on a walkoff field goal, but the young Oakton Cougars team believes it still made a big statement in defeat. The visiting West Springfield Spartans defeated Oakton, 16-13, in non-district high-school football action Sept. 21. Oakton (2-2) had chances to win, including dropping a touchdown pass, missing an extra point and a blown coverage on a Spartan scoring pass, but the Cougars didn’t take advantage of those opportunities against a good West Springfield squad.
