Crawford’s Abdi Ali sped down the field for the 52-yard touchdown. Ali tied the game up at 13-all.

In the second quarter, Crawford drove it down the field and attempted a 31-yard field goal, but the kick was deflected.

Francis Parker’s Chris White was on the alert and caught the tipped ball. He took it back 85 yards for a Francis Parker touchdown. White maintained Francis Parker’s lead, 20-13.

Each team had some notable plays and both left it all out on the field.
