7-0 overtime loss for the Jr. Pee Wee Purple Wave in the State Championship Game outside of Albany New York vs the Sherman Park Bulldogs (Syracuse)
This overtime Championship game came after a thrilling 20-14 last second comeback win in the previous weeks playoff game when Jayson Mcghee ran the ball in from 4 yards away on fourth down and ten seconds left in regulation.
The Championship game was highlighted by the running of Ali Paul who put the Purple Wave within striking distance on their first offensive series. Penalties pushed the Purple Wave away. This would be the calling card of the game as the Purple Wave offense would move the ball inside Sherman territory , yet come away empty handed. The Purple Wave defense once again played tough, with Nicholas Miceli , Bryce Boahene, Tisebastian Brandon and Mason Crovato leading the way.
With no score the two teams went to the overtime format. Sherman would score on 3rd down from their 6 yard line when Ali Anthony and Jaheim Gregory tackled the Sherman runner, dislodging the football in the air. The ball was then caught by another Bulldog player who fell into the end-zone.
Once the Jr. Pee Wees were on offense, Anthony and Gregory positioned the ball at the two yard line with power running. But on 4th down the Sherman Park defense stopped the Purple Wave at the one yard line to end the game and prevail 7-0.
