Willis High School graduate Danny Nephew recovered a loose football on a blocked field goal in the final minute of Saturday night's game against the North Texas Crunch and flipped it to teammate Roland Hayes, who went the distance to give the Conroe Jaguars what appeared to be the winning touchdown.
However, the Crunch battled back with a TD pass and a two-point conversion with 37 seconds left and then held Conroe on a drive inside the 10 in the final seconds and earned a 26-24 victory at the Lone Star Expo Center.
Conroe seemed to have things under control midway through the fourth quarter, holding an 18-8 lead. However, a ball fumble out of the end zone for a safety followed by a four-play, 21-yard TD drive after the free kick by the Crunch knotted things up at 18-18 with 4:02 remaining.
With less than 90 seconds to play Oak Ridge High School graduate Mickey Williams dropped a Crunch running back for a five-yard loss and then sacked the North Texas QB for an 11-yard loss, forcing the field goal that was blocked and recovered by Nephew and pitched to Hayes for the touchdown. After the Crunch went ahead 26-24 Conroe returned the kickoff to the Crunch 21 and eventually got it to the seven before a pair of incompletions, the last one on fourth down in the end zone, allowed North Texas to escape with the victory.
Conroe suffered its first loss of the season, dropping to 6-1. The Jaguars' next game is to be announced.
Conroe got the game's first touchdown early in the first quarter when QB André Roy hooked up with Joe Townsend on a 30-yard pass into the end zone. The Jaguars then stopped the Crunch for a second time on a goal-to-go situation.
Another highlight in the first quarter was when Conroe's Jonathan Thomas' 55-yard field goal attempt was blocked and recovered by Townsend, who ran for the first down.
The Crunch took an 8-6 lead at the half on a scoring pass with 20 seconds to go in the second quarter.
Conroe would score on back-to-back plays in the third quarter, set up by an interception by Travis Brown. Three plays after the pick, Roy threw to Marvin Howard after scrambling in the end zone and the receiver hauled it in, crossed the field and sprinted to the end zone for a 47-yard scoring connection. On the next play from scrimmage, the Crunch fumbled near midfield, with Demarques Daughtry picking it up and sprinting to the end zone for the 18-8 Jaguar lead.
Roy finished the game going 11 for-21 for 147 yards and two TDs, with Townsend hauling in four passes for 64 yards and a score and Howard two for 53 and a TD.
Notes: On two different plays in the game the men holding the first down markers were hit when hard tackles were made on the sideline. Both times they were flipped over the plastic barricades and into the dirt. Both were OK and finished out the game.
