Western started the second half with another good drive. But the Wolves defense stiffened stopping the Warriors on Central's 20. The two teams battled it out for the rest of the quarter but neither was able to find pay dirt. Then Central got their offense rolling in the fourth quarter.

Relying on the legs of Andre Houston, the Wolves drove deep into Warrior territory. With fourth and one on the five yard line, Houston gained the first down to keep the drive alive. After a loss, Josh Billette hit Austin Jones on a sideline pass. Jones turned the corner and dove into the end zone for an 8 yard scoring strike and suddenly Central had pulled within 6 points, 27-21.

If it wasn't before, the game had now gotten very exciting with just over 6 minutes to play.

The Wolves seized the momentum and stopped Western on a three and out. Following the punt, Central was now at midfield with just under four minutes on the game clock and looking for the game winning drive. As they have done all year, the Western defense stiffened forcing a fourth and five on their 45 yard line with just over two minutes to play.

Billette took a short drop and spotted his open receiver on a slant pattern toward the center of the field. He fired a nice pass to his receiver when Western's Cameron Roth stepped in between and reached up for the interception stopping the Wolves drive and ending their hopes of an upset win over the Warriors. Charles Proctor sealed the game with a first down run and Western completed an 8-1 regular season winning 27-21.



Western's Mason Myers ran for 122 yards on 19 carries while his running mate, Charles Proctor almost matched the output with 117 yards on 13 carries. QB Cameron Pine added 92 yards in the air on 2 for 3 throwing.

Central was led on the ground by Andre Houston with carried the ball 23 times for 125 yards. QB Josh Billette threw for 31 yards with 26 of them to Austin Jones.
