Game Blog - #3 Tuscarora 28, #1 Stone Bridge 27 in Class 5, Region C Finals

That Tuscarora defensive front with Will Moore and company has hung tough. They make Stone Bridge go to the air on 4th & 3 and the Bulldogs are unable to connect.

Third 15-yard penalty - this one on a pass interference - on Stone Bridge puts Tuscarora inside the 40-yard line of the Bulldogs.

After the pass interference, it was a 11-yard run from West on a nicely designed fake screen pass. Then Adam Thorne hauls in a pass of 16 yards from QB Justin Allen before the TD.

Time-out called by Stone Bridge with 57 seconds to play, facing about 2nd & 18 from the 24.

Then Tatum chased out of the pocket on 3rd & 18. Does Stone Bridge try a FG or go for it on 4th & 18 with 41 seconds left?

Outstanding ballgame and Mike Burnett's Huskies continue their quest of a state title, moving to 11-2 overall. A heart-breaking finish for Stone Bridge, which sees its campaign come an end at 12-1 overall after rallying from two scores down and dominating much of the second half.

The stat that will haunt Stone Bridge all off-season long is this one - just 2 of 7 on fourth downs.

Tuscarora has the same power rating as Brooke Point, so should the Black Hawks win I have to check and see whether they host them or hit the road. Not 100% sure, but believe it goes to higher seed, in which case Brooke Point would host. Meanwhile, if Stafford wins, then Tuscarora will host the Indians.

More to come with final stats as well later...
