Bowsher football scores late to win back-and-forth game over Waite

Bowsher quarterback Jordan Singer found Nah'Sohn Triplett in the corner of the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown pass on a 4th-and-11 play with six seconds left to lift the Blue Racers to a 20-18 road victory at Waite on Thursday night.

After a 2-point conversion run failed and Waite secured the short kickoff, Bowsher sacked Waite quarterback Carl Foards on the last play of the game to win a back-and-forth City League contest.

Waite opened the scoring with a 29-yard TD pass from Shayne Curns to Daveyon Holman on a fourth-down play, but failed to run in the 2-point conversion.

With 10 seconds left in the opening quarter, Waite's Damien Harrington turned in a highlight-reel one-handed interception.

Waite got a golden opportunity to add to its lead after Bowsher fumbled on a quarterback-running back exchange at its own 5-yard line.

But Bowsher intercepted the ball at the 1-yard line and then marched down the field on a long drive that was capped off by a 4-yard run from Singer with 1:48 left in the second quarter. Jeremy Jurski ran in the 2-point conversion, and Bowsher took an 8-6 lead into halftime.

Waite took back the lead when King Wilson ran 55 yards for a touchdown on a reverse with 8:05 left in the third quarter. The Indians failed to run in the 2-point conversion and took a 12-8 lead.

Singer capped off another Bowsher TD drive with a 1-yard run with 9:51 left to give the Blue Racers a 14-12 lead after a pass fell incomplete on the 2-point try.

Foards connected with Holman for a 50-yard TD with 4:09 left as Waite took over the lead 18-14 after a failed 2-point attempt.

That set up the late-game dramatics for Bowsher.
