East Central 9, South Dearborn 7 – Eagle Country 99.3 Feature Game – After East Central quarterback Alex Maxwell connected with Trevor Becker on a controversial, must-have 4th-and-15 play inside the final minute with the team down 7-6, senior kicker Cayden Browndyke booted the game-winning 32-yard field goal with just 6 seconds remaining. Browndyke did all the scoring for EC with three field goals. EC out-gained SD 214 yards to 114. South Dearborn’s lone score came on a second-quarter drive with three big passes by QB Adam Dixon, capped off by a Dixon QB keeper TD from one yard out. Kyle Krummen led EC with 8 tackles and Nathan Griffin grabbed an interception. Maxwell finished 6-of-10 passing for 48 yards while running 30 times for 84 yards. Dixon was 6-of-19 for 131 yards. East Central (11-1) advances to the sectional championship game at Edgewood (8-3) on Friday, November 2. South Dearborn’s great season ends with an 8-3 record.

So a center while on the ground has the ball and flips it to his QB. It was 4th down and should've been a turnover. @IHSAA1 @SDKnightsFB @STWannabes @eagle993 @seilocalsports pic.twitter.com/m7GsLso2nP
