When your body says you can t do it, you can t do it. You ve just got to go with your next guy and see what happens. Southwestern drove the other way but stalled at the FHS 5 with just over four minutes left. But Nelson, Southwestern s kicker, also missed the extra point to force overtime. Offense sells the tickets, defense wins games, but special teams always wins the close games, Southwestern coach Chris Kranz said.
Special teams make the difference.
Marshall completed the game s opening drive, over 66 yards, with a 39-yard burst for Fredonia s first lead. Later in the quarter, Tom Swartz picked up a Potter fumble and returned it 15 yards to tie the game at 7-7. In the second quarter, Incitto caught a seven-yard pass from Bongiovanni for a score, but the game was tied again less than three minutes later when quarterback Mike Currie ran in from the 3. The Hillbillies seemed to grab the momentum with a pair of scores in the final two minutes before halftime. Potter picked off a Currie pass at midfield one of three FHS interceptions and raced 50 yards for a 21-14 lead.
