This one came down to the final :79 seconds; Cathedral led 13-10 with a fourth-and-1 at the Center Grove 44. Instead of punting CG deep into its own territory, the Irish decided to go for it and the Trojan defense came-up with a stop.
Center Grove then marched 54 yards and won the game with a touchdown pass between Tayven Jackson and Trent Veith with :14 seconds to play.
