Published: November 3, 2007

THE DIFFERENCE: In overtime, Joey Looney's interception in the end zone set up Sickles' Corey Page's game-winning 27-yard field goal, which put Sickles (7-3, 2-1) into the playoffs for the first time as the Class 5A-District 6 runner-up after going 0-10 last year.

GAME NOTES: Alonso running back Jessie Anaya got behind the Sickles defense and quarterback C.J. Bennett hit him in stride for an 80-yard touchdown to pull the Ravens within two points, late in the fourth. … Anaya caught a swing pass and broke a tackle to complete the 2-point conversion and tie the game at 15. Anaya caught nine passes for 140 yards and running for 37 yards on eight carries. ... Sickles' Craig Plastic ran back the opening kickoff 95 yards for a TD to send the Gryphons' homecoming crowd into a frenzied celebration.

STAT OF THE GAME: Sickles recorded six sacks, resulting in a loss of 47 yards for Alonso and thwarting multiple Ravens' drives.

QUOTE OF THE GAME: "We played tight man pressure on them all night and got overaggressive and burned late in the game. But we stepped right back up, and Looney made the big play for us in the end zone. We really fought hard all game." - Sickles coach Pat O'Brien
