THE DIFFERENCE: In a wild game, which had everything from a delay in the fourth quarter because of a fight in the stands to a late Hillsborough fumble when the game looked to be put away, Middleton kicker Zachary Wehr was short on a 47-yard field-goal attempt that would have tied the game as time ran out. Trailing by three with 1:25 left, the Tigers (1-3) recovered a fumble on their own 37-yard line. Middleton drove the ball into Hillsborough (3-1) territory and even had a dropped ball in the end zone before a stingy Terrier defense stiffened and forced the long field-goal try to end the game. ...more

THE DIFFERENCE: Alonso was up 17-7 with 8:35 left in the second quarter when the Ravens punted the ball on fourth down after failing to convert on third-and-long. Leto wide receiver Antwan Howard attempted to field the punt but he fumbled the ball and the Ravens' Jordan Unsell recovered the ball. Alonso had great field position at the Falcons' 17-yard line, however after two penalties and a costly sack, the Ravens were faced with second-and-long from their own 44. Then quarterback C.J. Bennett hit wide receiver Evan Jones for a 53-yard pass that gave the Ravens first-and-goal from the 3-yard line. Bennett rushed up the gut for a 3-yard touchdown and the Ravens went up 23-7 and never looked back. ...more
