Elkins' return did not decide the game. It in fact extended the game and gave Nashville another chance to tie or win the game. If Prairie Grove had fallen on the ball instead of running it back for 6 points, then that would have ended it. The game was acttually decided on the previous play when Nashville went for two instead of tying the game and going to overtime.

I agree with Coach Absher - western Washington County, and Prairie Grove in particular, is full of character. Or, perhaps, characters... .
