3rd quarter, down 21-14. Kendron Penson steps up in the pocket and just throws one up for Caleb Douglas who just takes it away from the defender and jogs in for the tying score. 21-21.
4th quarter, Hightower up 3, Penson rolls to his right and throws back to Alijah Jones for the 9 yard touchdown. Hightower beats Manvel again, 31-21, and will face the winner of our next game.
