Football: Manchester 54, Cosby 53

Jamal Winston had a 5-yard touchdown run in overtime then hit David Wilburn with a 2-point conversion pass out of the muddle huddle to give the Lancers a heartstopping overtime win over the sixth-ranked Titans.

Winston's touchdown helped the Lancers (3-2 Dominion, 4-3) survive a furious rally from Cosby led by Fuller Hoepner. Manchester led 32-20 at halftime but behind a 402-yard, 5-touchdown performance from Hoepner, Cosby (3-2, 5-2) pulled into a 43-39 lead in the fourth quarter. Hoepner's favorite targets were Jordan Egerton (6 receptions, 186 yards, 3 TDs) and Bryce Dillion (8 receptions, 131 yards, 1 TD)

Winston (24 carries, 210 yards, 4 TDs, 4 2-point passes) put the Lancers ahead 46-43 with 1:18 to go on a 6-yard touchdown run. Cosby took the ball at its 25-yard line on th ensuing possession and drove to Manchester 35. Stephen Denuel nailed a 43-yard field goal with 1.8 seconds left to force overtime.

Cosby took the ball first in overtime and Hoepner hit Jainard Crawley-Lambert with a 10-yard touchdown strike to regain the lead but set up Winston's heroics.

Manchester finished 449 yards rushing and 528 yards total offense. Brandon Chiles ran for 232 yards and a score and Willie Pugh had a touchdown catch and 70 yards to support Winston's herculean efforts.

In addition to his passing exploits, Hoepner had 37 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Hoepner accounted for 439 of Cosby's 460 yards.
