Haha, I know this isnt the same thing at all, but maybe a similar fate can happen to the Cardinals again, it's a good read atleast.

1998 Regional Finals: Sheldon Clark 16 Belfry 15
After Belfry defeated Sheldon Clark 42-22 in a game that was actually more lopsided than the score indicated, and after the Pirates defeated Bell County 14-13, it appeared the Pirates were on their way to a matchup with one of the greatest Ft. Thomas Highlands teams of all-time.

Sheldon Clark, fresh off an upset win vs. Pulaski Southwestern, came in with little to no chance by many. On a cold night the Cardinals utilized a ball control offense and a power running game to take an 8-0 lead. Belfry, not to be denied mustered up a last minute drive to tie the game and force overtime.

The Pirates got the ball first and quickly converted to take a 15-8 lead. SC now had the ball facing elimination after trailing for the first time in the game.

The Cards then stuck to their guns utilizing QB keepers by Harley Hammonds and strong running from Moe Spradlin. SC scored a touchdown on 4th and Goal from the 1 and then faced a decision. Go for one and force Double OT, or go for the win. Matney chose the glory.

The ball was handed off to Spradlin and the Pirate D rose to the occasion meeting him in the backfield with contact. But Spradlin would not be denied, churning his legs and crawling across the goalline. FINAL Sheldon Clark 16 Belfry 15.
