The Ypsilanti Phoenix varsity football team, looking for their first win of the season, built an early 13-0 lead against the Dexter Dreadnaughts, only to see it lost in the final minute of play Friday night 14-13.
After a scoreless first quarter, the Phoenix took control for the next ten minutes of play.
Starting at their own five-yard line, Ypsilanti took a 6-0 lead on Devon Thompson’s 5-yard touchdown.
The 95-yard drive included a 45- yard screen pass from quarterback Terrance Moore to Harrison Porterfield. However, the missed extra point would prove crucial late in the game.
After the Dreadnaughts punted from deep in their own territory, Porterfield once again sparked the Phoenix. Porterfield went untouched on first down for a 35-yard touchdown run, making it 13-0.
After losing their starting quarterback, Alex McMurray, to a severe leg injury, Dexter responded on their next drive.
Alex Dobbs went 31 yards for the Dreadnaughts’ fist score with 2:03 remaining in the first half, cutting the lead to 13-7.
Dexter owned the ball in the second half, only allowing Ypsilanti three possessions in the third and fourth quarters.
Henry Haley, who took over for the injured McMurray, gave the Dreadnaughts the lead with a two-yard quarterback sneak up the middle.
Ypsilanti had a chance with just over a minute remaining to win the game, starting at their own 44-yard line.
On second down, Moore rolled right, and his pass was tipped and intercepted by Dexter senior linebacker Brent Pace, allowing the Dreadnaughts to run out the clock.
Ypsilanti will travel to Lincoln next week, marking the first these inner-city rivals have met on the football field.
