stalled, and Howe was forced to punt from their own 31. However, the Howe defense continued to be stingy and forced a Tiger punt after three plays. Howe had a chance to score before the half by reaching the Commerce 38 yard line with a minute left, but a 13yard loss on a running play and a 9-yard sack ended the first half.
Howe’s first drive of the second half ended on a turnover on downs as they drove 5-plays to the Commerce 35 yard line. On a 4th-and-1, Carson Daniels appeared to have an easy first down, but tripped over Crosby’s foot behind the line.
While the defense kept forcing Tiger punts, Howe turned the ball over on downs again after five plays to the Tiger 31 yard line. After team exchanged punts, Commerce turned up the heat entering the fourth quarter trailing 7 -3 to Howe. On the first play of the fourth, Tiger running back Izayah Simon raced 56 yards to set up his own 1-yard score and give Commerce a 10-7 lead with 11:21 remaining in the game.
Howe again was forced to punt after a razzle dazzle flea-flicker that resulted in a fumble and a loss of 12 yards. Moments later, DeShawn Jackson raced 70 yards to up the Tiger lead to 17-7 with 7:41 left.
Howe drove 6-plays, 68 yards in nearly three minutes to answer back on a 2-yard touchdown by Daniels. The big play of the drive was a 41-yard pass from Haley to Hough, which put Haley on top of the record books. The missed PAT left the score at 17-13 with 4:53 left. But again, it only took one play for Commerce to score as Ashton Seale raced 67 yards to give the Tigers a 24-13 lead with 4:42 remaining.
The Dogs offense stalled and turned the ball over on downs on their own 37 yard line which resulted in the second Jackson rushing touchdown—this one of 12 yards. Commerce led 31-13 with 1:32 left, but Howe put together an impressive 5-play, 85-yard drive that took only 0:24 seconds off the clock and resulted in a Haley to McNutt 6-yard touchdown pass in the back home corner of the north endzone. The score was pushed to 31-21 and 12 seconds later, became the final.
Howe will travel to Mineola (3-4, 2-2) Friday. They lost to Pottsboro, 42-14 Friday night. The game will be broadcast live at HoweEnterprise.com and at the following YouTube link: https:// youtu.be/KEkTIAA5gwA
