The moment
Needing two scores to tie late in the fourth quarter, Marmion coach Dan Thorpe passed up an opportunity to kick a field goal on fourth-and-4 at the Fenwick 9-yard line. The Cadets (0-2) went for it and gained a first down on Charlie Faunce's 5-yard keeper. But Marmion could not covert on fourth-and-goal at the Fenwick 1 as Fenwick (2-0) stopped Faunce at the goal line on an attempted QB sneak with 4:38 to play.
