The 7a matchup between auburn and thompson is all over espn, but fyffe and montgomery catholic made sure the 3a championship didn't go un- noticed..... vo: buckle up for this thriller between the red devils and knights inside bryant denney stadium in tuscaloosa... catholic already up 3-0 early in the first, caleb mccreary myles butler, touchdown knights.xp no good its a 9-0 ball game... catholic would get out in front 16-0 before fyffe finds the end zone before the break.

At the half its a 16-6 ball game.

No action in the third, but ya'll, here we go.... first play to start the fourth, ike rowell keeps it himself, and big red fans getting into it now 16-13 after picking off catholic, fyffe is back at the goaline, but turn the ball over on downs at the one... its a three point game, catholic punting from the end zone... less than four minutes to go... and the punter steps out of bounds, so thats a safety!!

Add two points catholic leads by one..

There's two and half minutes left in the game.

Rowell finds brody dalton he gets inside the five!!!

Next play rowell literally walks in the end zone... six more, fyffe missed the two point conversion ..21 to 16... with a minute left... catholic in fyffe territory, seven seconds left this is for it all..

Incomplete!!!!

Fyffe makes the comback, wins their third straight championship!!!
