Episcopal Academy went into the break with a comfortable, 27-9 advantage against Inter-Ac opponent Malvern Prep. And it got tighter when Freeman scored from a yard out to make it 34-9 early in the third quarter. From there, however, it got crazy. Malvern Prep stormed back in the second half, setting up a wild and weird finish in the game’s final minute. With the Friars trailing by three points, Malvern’s Brandon Chiazza lined up for a 29-yard field goal with less than a minute to go in the fourth quarter. Connor Ringwalt also would attempt a 29-yarder in the final seconds. Chiazza’s game-tying boot clanked up the left post and through. Tie game. Ringwalt’s 29-yard try did the same thing. The ball smacked off the left post and over the crossbar with no time left on the clock. Both officials raised their arms in the air. Ringwalt’s kick was good to send Episcopal Academy to a win in walk-off fashion, 37-34, and avoided the sting of a potentially damaging loss.
Off the post and it’s GOOOOOD! Ringwalt with the game winner. Wowwowowow.
