Mircle Drive Keeps Streak Alive

Perhaps the most exciting prep football game ever played in Jerseyville, saw the home team score a game winning TD with just 2 seconds remaining to come from behind and defeat the Highland Bulldogs 28-27.

QB Joey Kallal hit Brent Hawkins on a 10 yard TD pass to win this thriller. The Panthers started the last drive on their own 29 yard line, with 49 seconds on the clock. Kallal marched his offense down (8 plays on 71 yards) while working the clock like a master. A 37 yard pass from Kallal to Hawkins brought the ball down to the Bulldog 5 yard line with just 2 seconds left. After a motion penalty against Jerseyville, Kallal rolled to his right and found Brent Hawkins at the goal line flag for the winning score.

A lot of people came to see Highland QB Brendon Delaney play, but it was Panther QB Joey Kallal that stole the show. He was 16/24 for 214 yards and 4 TD's. Besides Hawkins, Kallal also connected to Greg Madson in the first half to tie the score at 7-7.

In the second half his targets were to Nathan Smay and to Todd Ringhausen. Kallal also completed another pass to Greg Madson for the 2 point conversion that gave the Panthers a 22-21 lead late in the game. Highland however recovered a Jerseyville fumble and were able to score on the Panther mistake to take a 27-22 lead. The Panthers were able to bat away a Delany pass on a 2 point conversion. That set up what was to be the most exciting 49 seconds of the Jerseyville season.

Jerseyville's Kallal play was incredible. He managed to maintain his composure under intense pressure. The Panthers improve their record to 6-0 & their 23 straight regular season victory, they have neither lost an MVC game or a regular season home game in 5 years.
