What a game Friday night between Marion Co. & Sequatchie Co. in Dunlap.
Marion Co. went to the 2016 2A State Championship last season while Sequatchie lost to Alcoa in the 3A Semifinal game.
Sequatchie Co. only returned three starters off that team.
Sequatchie trailed early in the 1st quarter 21-7. Marion Co. lead 28-21 at the half.
Marion Co. only scored 6 points (3rd Qrt.) in the 2nd half. Sequatchie scored 13 in the 4th. The final TD came when Sequatchie scored a 5 yard run with .43 seconds left in regulation the PAT would give Sequatchie a 35-34 win however Marion Co. blocks it. Sequatchie then squib kicks the ball and recovers. They throw into the endzone once but can't connect a false start penalty puts them out of range so they take a knee to send it to OT.
In OT Marion scores on two plays to go up 41-35. Sequatchie then comes right back scores on three plays and its 41-40. Sequatchie calls timeout and decides to go for two.
The Sequatchie QB fakes to the FB (who scored 5 TDs on the night) rolls right and hits the receiver in the right back corner of the endzone for the 42-41 Overtime Win.
