Start of 3Q
Grant 13, Poly 7
Poly receives kickoff

Poly
1-10-31- Fennell's first pass of the second half if intercepted...but out of bounds. Lucky.
2-10-31- Barner breaks through for his biggest run in a couple of weeks +16

1-10-47 - Screen pass to WR Damon Smith +3
2-7-50 - Barner for a short gain + 3
3-4-(G)47 - Short pass to Clay goes for 23 yards, but a flag on the play. Personal foul on Poly. But still a first down

1-10-39 - Fennell under pressure throws ball out of bounds
2-10-39 - Richardson strung out by quick Grant defense for no gain
3-10-39 - Pass to open Westbrook too far
4-10-39- Poly punts, but puts Grant deep in its end for the first time. Could be big in the way the game plays out. Field position hurt Poly in first half.

Grant
1-10-2- Butler stopped, just gets out of end zone -1
2-11-1- Pass incomplete
Poly fans, who are taking up almost all of their half of HDC, chant "DEFENSE"
3-11-1-McCauley makes catch in middle of field +8
4-2-9 - Punt leaves Poly in good field position.

Poly (7:02)
1-10-(G)32- WR screen caught by Clay for no gain
2-10-32 - Richardson run +1
3-9-31 - Fennell sacked on rollout, fumbles ball but Poly recovers. Holding call on Poly, too. Declined by Grant.
4-18-40 - Punt.

Grant (5:14)
1-10-9 - Butler runs +6
2-4-15 - Butler thrown forward for 1-yard gain.
3-3-16- Butler again, but short of first down +2
Timeout Grant. Could they be thinking about going for it so deep in theri territory with a 13-7 lead?
4-1-18- Jaymee Matheny's punt blocked by trio of 'Rabbits and run into end zone by George Daily-Lyles to give Poly its first lead of the game on Roniss' PAT at 3:16.

Poly 14, Grant 13
Same old story in these playoffs for Poly. They are coming back.
