Damon Boggs supplied his share of the frenzy as host Tates Creek pulled out a 41-36 victory over Mercer County in a wild opening game of the iHigh Football Frenzy Friday night.
Boggs returned two kickoffs for touchdowns, the second one an electrifying, zig-zagging 87-yarder with 3:40 left that rallied the Commodores to within 36-35.
But not for long.
Tates Creek kicker Myles Atkins recovered his own onside kick, and three plays later Brandon Shrout's 11-yard TD run salvaged the win and ended the Commodores' seven-game losing skid, which spanned two seasons.
"I hope we took a step in learning how to win tonight," said a relieved Tates Creek Coach Mike Harmon.
That Tates Creek needed a late rally was a shock, considering it led 29-7 midway through the third quarter.
"When we got that big lead, we got lazy," Boggs said. "But we showed a lot of heart and character when we got behind, and we were able to pull it out."
