Panthers Advance!

(OT game winning play)

What an exciting game to be at, it made the numbing of my hands and feet worth it! The Panthers defeated the Flint Powers Catholic Chargers in overtime Friday night, 20-14. Between the blocked field goals, missed field goals, onside kick recoveries, and fumbles this game was nothing short of entertaining.

There were also some great plays by the Panthers in the second half, including Drew Humm's 25-yard pass completion to Brandon Huff and Brec Alward's 32-yard touchdown run to tie the game!

Alward ended the night with 235 rushing yards along with three touchdowns. Humm threw for a total of 113 passing yards and Huff finished with 32 yards rushing and 43 yards in the air.
