Week #5 Woodruff @ Peoria High
9/22/2000

Late Surge Comes Up Short By Inches

Peoria - Gong into the fourth quarter a surprise was going on for fans of both these Peoria high schools, the 1-3 Lions were beating the 3-1 Warriors 19-6.

Wodruff was struggling to establish the pass for most of the game, drove down the field on mostly rushing plays and relied on Jeremy Boyd to score on a short yardage run with 3:52 left in the game bring the score to 19-12 after the extra point went wide right.

The Warriors D stepped up and forced the Lions to punt and with just over 2 minutes left the offense went to work. Warrior's QB Nick Gorham managed to add a little suspense to the game, throwing all his passes over or infront of his recivers, with the exception of the one that counted. Which would be two fourth down conversions and a short pass to TE Darryll Smith for a TD. Woodruff failed on the 2 point conversion and would go for the onside kick, making the score 19-18. With just 25 seconds left in the game the ball would end up bouncing into the arms of a diving Warrior, but was ruled not to have traveled the 10 yards needed to have been a kick off thus making it a Lions ball.
