BAINBRIDGE – The Bobcats of Bainbridge-Guilford made it 4-0 to finish out the season, after they pulled out a miraculous late push in the later parts of their final game, to defeat Thomas A. Edison 28-26 in overtime.
The final game of 2016, on Friday, Oct. 28, had no shortage of fireworks for the Bobcat fans who attended, as the once 0-5 Bobcats moved their record to an improved 4-5 to finish out the season.
However, despite the win, it was Thomas A. Edison who took a commanding lead early on scoring twice in the first quarter – Garner nine yard score and Houghtling 43 yard run.
B-G would respond to the early 12-0 deficit in the first quarter with a rushing score of their own – Nick Decker 5 yard run – however, would still trail Thomas A. Edison 12-6 at the half.
That is when the scoring stopped until the fourth quarter rolled around. And with the fourth quarter came the theatrics.
The deficit for the Bobcats grew before it shrunk, as Garner claimed his second touchdown of the night off another nine yard run to open up the fourth quarter – Garner two point conversion, making the Thomas A. Edison lead 20-6 at the time.
A run heavy game opened up when BG quarterback Evan Hyzer launched a 60 yard pass to Zach Ouimet for the strike – two point conversion Austin Carr.
