Things got a little hectic late in last night’s game when Lake Highlands drove 89 yards (90 counting lost yardage) to beat Garland, 7-6.
I went back over my chicken scratchings/notes and the blog archive and put together a play-by-play of the game-winning drive. There’s not a lot of color and detail, but you will notice the consistent execution by LH as it efficiently gained ground toward the goal.
LH was almost too efficient, as it turns out, because Garland had 1:02 left to mount its own comeback, which ultimately fell short.
