DRESDEN — It wasn't a flashy play, but it all but epitomized what the Granville defense accomplished in another topsy-turvy tussle with Tri-Valley.
With the host Scotties facing a fourth-and-short at the Blue Aces' 21-yard line, trying to overcome a three-point deficit with 1:10 left, the Blue Aces knew what was coming.
Leevi Wade, the Scotties' All-Ohio running back, was going to get yet another carry — he had 36 to that point. The challenge was to gang tackle him one more time. Only this time, the chips were officially on the table.
Indeed, a Wade run into the teeth of the Blue Aces' front came up one yard short with a minute to play. It preserved a thrilling 24-21 win at Jack Anderson Stadium.
Granville could finally take a breath after watching a 24-7 third-quarter lead come painfully close to dissipating, due largely to a pair of costly turnovers that gave Tri-Valley life.
