SUMMER CREEK 45, ATASCOCITA 28 (FINAL)
FOURTH QUARTER
-- Lloyd Avant's night: 31 carries, 297 yards, three TDs. Is that good?
-- Touchdown, Avant, who is putting on the clinic. Bulldogs go for two and convert a pass in the left corner of the endzone, appearing to begin to pull away. (Summer Creek, 45-28 | late)
-- Summer Creek RB Lloyd Avant explodes through an open hole, has a tackler bounce off of him, then jets in untouched for an 18-yard touchdown. That run pushed Avant to the 200-yard mark on the night. Officially? 25 carries, 200 yards, two TDs. Not bad. (Summer Creek, 37-28 | 6:26)
-- What. A. First. Down. Bulldogs senior tight end Kordell Rodgers elevates and makes a nine-yard catch, then holds onto the ball after a defender swept his legs out from under him to secure the first down.
-- Interception, Zion Brown. Atascocita QB throws his third of the night and Summer Creek gets the ball back up two.
-- Atascocita cuts the deficit to two. Eagles find the endzone, Tory Blaylock rushing in from four yards out. (Summer Creek, 30-28 | 11:12)
THIRD QUARTER
-- Summer Creek makes it a two-score game after being stopped at the goal line by the Atascocita D. Bulldogs kicker Brian Mays nets a 25-yard FG. (Summer Creek, 30-21 | 4:01)
-- Touchdown, Atascocita! Cardae Mack hauls in a 16-yard TD pass from Zion Brown to pull within a score. (Summer Creek, 27-21 | 8:27)
