In the second half, the Marauders started the third quarter with a 32 yard touchdown from Bell to Watson once again to extend their lead 21-13. The touchdown was a record setter, as Hunter Watson set the all time school record for most receiving yards in Prep history passing current NFL star Minkah Fitzpatrick. St. Joe’s responded on the next possession with a touchdown of their own, but failed to convert the two point conversion making the score 21-19. In the fourth quarter, the Green Knights scored another touchdown but failed on the two point conversion to make the game 25-21. On Prep’s last drive of the season, Tyler Bell threw an interception to give the ball back to the Green Knights who would then run the clock out.
