Benedictine trailed Trinity Episcopal 28-7 with less than 9 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter and came back to win 29-28. The Cadets make it back to the VISAA State title game to defend their championship
Trinity Episcopal scored 1st on an 11-yard pass from Taegan Logan to Sam DeFrancesca with 2:05 remaining in the 1st quarter.
Benedictine thwarted another scoring chance when Roddrey Mcwilliams who recently committed to James Madison, intercepted a pass. The Titans led 6-0 at the halftime break.
Trinity Episcopal used a couple of pass interference penalties to set a 1st-and-goal from the 4-yard line. Logan ran a quarterback draw for the touchdown and he converted the 2-point run for a 14-0 lead with 7:53 remaining.
The Titans ate up most of the remaining time in the 3rd quarter with a 70-play drive. University of Virginia commit Isaiah Robinson made a great contested grab over a defender for a 15-yard touchdown to extend the Trinity Episcopal lead to 21-0 with only 50 seconds remaining in the 3rd quarter.
McWilliams returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for the Cadets 1st points on the scoreboard.
Trinity Episcopal appeared to have the game in hand after junior Carson Parks scored from 7-yards out with 8:57 remaining to extend the lead to 28-7.
A penalty forced the Titans to kickoff from their own 25-yard line and Jojo Johnson took advantage returning the kickoff 80-yards for a touchdown with 8:45 left in the game.
Another penalty gave Benedictine a chance to kickoff from their own 50 yards line and McWilliams recovered the kick at the Trinity Episcopal 25-yard line. Minutes later, Benedictine scored on a short run from Ryker Cook with a little over six minutes to go to slice the lead to 28-21.
Trinity Episcopal only used a minute off the clock and was forced to punt with 5:10 remaining. However, the snapped went over the punters head for a safety to trim the margin even more to 28-23. After the kickoff, the Cadets finally took the lead on a 2-yard touchdown run from Cook with 2:22 remining.
The Titans had one final chance to reclaim the lead and made it to the Benedictine 33-yard line, but one final pass fell incomplete. They can look at their special teams which allowed two kickoff returns for touchdowns, a safety on a bad snap on a punt attempt and an onside recovery late in the game.
