MARLIN – For those football fans with an appetite for high-scoring, explosive, down-to-the-wire football, this week's Dairy Queen Game of the Week proved to be a hunger-buster.
Marlin quarterback Jeremy Sanders was shoved out of bounds at the 3-yard line on the final play of the game, as Bellville upended the second-ranked Bulldogs, 38-35, Friday night at Legion Field.
Trailing 24-6 at halftime, Marlin (2-1) roared back behind the strong right arm of Sanders, who passed for 315 yards and five touchdowns, including three to Benny Jones.
With 3:20 left to play, Marlin snared the lead on a 20-yard hookup between Sanders and D'Nario Alexander to go ahead 35-31. But Bellville (2-1) moved briskly downfield and regained the lead on a four-yard TD run from Eric Valentine.
Marlin got the ball back with 55 seconds to play and moved all the way to the Brahma 5-yard line with seven seconds left. The Bulldogs eschewed a field-goal attempt for a final run from Sanders, and the quarterback was wrestled out of bounds to end the game.
Alan Cooper led Bellville's rigid rushing attack with 102 yards on 14 carries, while Clayton Chaney chipped in 98 yards and two TDs.
B (1st): Clayton Chaney 31 run (Mike Bonilla kick); M (1st): Benny Jones 14 pass from Jeremy Sanders (kick failed); B (2nd): Eric Valentine 13 run (Bonilla kick); B (2nd): Chaney 9 run (Bonilla kick); B (2nd): Bonilla 38 field goal; M (3rd): Jones 26 pass from Sanders (Sanders run); B (3rd): Brandon Harris 78 pass from Lane O'Connor (Bonilla kick); M (3rd): Kenny Evans 13 pass from Sanders (Craig Contreras kick); M (4th): Jones 10 pass from Sanders (Contreras kick); M (4th): De'Nario Alexander 20 pass from Sanders (Contreras kick); B (4th): Valentine 4 run (Bonilla kick).
