LATE-GAME HEROICS: Williamsburg survives Middlesboro scare, comes away with 22-21 victory

Williamsburg was on the ropes but never went to the canvas during its heavyweight matchup with Middlesboro on Friday.

Jerry Herron’s squad scored with a little over two minutes remaining to claim a 22-21 win.

Middlesboro (0-2) built a 21-14 advantage before Sydney Bowen connected with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Nate Goodin to make the score, 21-20. Bowen added the two-point conversion to give his team a slim one-point lead.

Middlesboro moved the ball downfield but Williamsburg turned in a  goal line stand and recovered a fumble to secure the win.

Bowen finished with two rushing touchdowns, a passing touchdown, and two, two-point conversions.

Herron’s squad will be back in action at home Friday against Leslie County while Middlesboro will host Garrard County.
