On the second play of the drive, the Oilers’ quarterback #1 connects with their #2 again for a 45-yard touchdown pass, but their two-point conversion is no good with a score now of 38-30.
A touchback on the kickoff puts the ball on the 20-yard line. Enterprise then has an 80-yard, 7 minute drive that ends with a 4 yard touchdown run by Lane Kennedy, but again their two-point conversion attempt is no good. Enterprise still leads 44-30.
Heidelberg starts with the ball on the 47-yard line. Early in the drive, the Oilers convert on a fourth down situation that opens the door for a 14-yard touchdown pass. The two-point conversion is good, and the Oilers trail 44-38. The ensuing kickoff goes into the endzone for a touchback.
Enterprise begins the fourth quarter trying to put together a drive, but is ultimately forced to punt. Heidelberg starts with the ball on their own 10-yard line. One big run, with a penalty at the end of the run against the Bulldogs, gets the Oilers to the Bulldogs’ 24-yard line. Heidelberg caps off the drive with a 6-yard touchdown run by their #1. However, their two-point conversion is no good, but the score is now tied 44-44.
The Bulldogs start with the ball on the 20-yard line, but three costly penalties force a fourth down, and the punt attempt is blocked by the Oilers #14 and recovered at the 3-yard line. The Oilers make excellent use of the field position and score with a touchdown run from their #5. The two-point conversion is no good, and the Oilers lead 50-44.
Enterprise gets the ball at the 20-yard line after the touchback, and they finally get a drive going and march down the field to the 3-yard line where Derrick Moore finds the endzone. Their two-point conversion is good, and Enterprise now leads 52-50.
Heidelberg returns the ball to the 34-yard line where they start their drive to try to win the game. Enterprise looks to have the Oilers stopped, but a successful 4th and 9 situation gives Heidelberg the fire they needed. The Oilers drive down the field and finish with an 8-yard touchdown pass from #1 to #15. The two-point conversion is no good, and Heidelberg takes the lead 56-52.
Enterprise gets the ball on the 40-yard line with four seconds on the clock after an attempted onside kick does not work for Heidelberg. In a last ditch effort, the Bulldogs launch the ball downfield in a Hail Mary, but it does not work, and the Bulldogs fall 56-52.
Enterprise travels to Bay Springs this Friday night, and hope to redeem themselves with a much-needed district win. Come support your EHS Bulldogs!
