Shelbyville 6, Summit 0 8:56 1Q

#FridayNightFever

Folks, Summit has the ball at their own 35 with 1:37 to go in the half. As poorly as they played eart they could go in to the break tied or leading.

Clock management has not been perfect. 24 seconds ran off before Summit called timeout prior to the punt. Then another 5 before a timeout after a run. Still, a shot to score late.

Wade to Wade to the 2-yard-line!

With 3 seconds left, Summit will go for it.

Touch. Down. Summit.

This is literally unbelievable.

With nothing left on the clock, Summit now leads 13-12 after. D. Wade 2-yard run.

Spartans get the ball to start the 2H.

#FridayNightFever

Summit forced to punt. Downed at the 50 with no return. 11:04 to go 4Q. #FridayNightFever

Summit forces a punt and they will likely try to run some valuable time off the clock here.

Seemingly conservative play-calling from Summit but the defense is playing on another level. 7:52 to go. Shelbyville has it at the Summit 45.

Summit forces 3-and-out. They have it at their 15 with another chance to run the clock with a couple first downs.

The clock runs after consecutive first downs. Under 4 minutes to play. Summit ball 3rd and 9.

Wade hits Bell for a first down and SC will be forced to use timouts soon.

With 2:23 to go, it’s 3rd down for Summit. Shelbyville calls timeout. A first down here would just about ice it.

Timeout Shelbyville. 2:15. 4th and 3 Summit.

Punt.

2:05 left.

Shelbyville 1st and 10 at their own 6.

Caleb Jolley picks it and this one is over.
