The first points on the board went to the Sharks as Derrick
Ross found the endzone on a short run from the goal line. Micheaux Robinson had
a huge interception at the goal line as Columbus tried to retaliate.
Before the half, the Sharks pulled out an incredible
never-before-seen play, where Damien Fleming tossed the ball back to Mo
Williams who delivered a perfect pass to Mo Ruffins right into the endzone.
With two missed field goals by the Lions in the last minute of the half, the
Sharks successfully shut out Columbus from scoring in the first two quarters
and led 13-0 going into halftime.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lions scored their first points with a touchdown from Mason Espinosa to Tristan Purifoy. Damien Fleming went down hard and was replaced by Jason Boltus. The Sharks struck back towards the end of the third quarter with a short pass to Mo Williams from Bolus to allow the Sharks to go up 20-7.
Columbus made a run to catch up, scoring a touchdown early
in the fourth quarter. It was later retaliated by Devin Wilson. Columbus came
back and scored again to make the score a close 27-21. In the final minute, the
Lions were driving down the field to score and potentially win the game. With
four seconds left and less than ten yards to go, they fumbled and it was
recovered by Jermiah Price to give the Sharks the ball and win the game with
the most exciting finish of the season.
