Leesburg (Oct. 27, 2012) - Even before their new high schools opened three years ago, Woodgrove and Tuscarora met on the football field to start a new rivalry. Back in 2010 it was all about raw potential and rookie miscues, but on Tuscarora's turf field Friday night the two programs showed just how far they have come as they locked up in an epic game that featured the area's top two running backs in Wolverine junior Josh Sweet and Husky sophomore Noah Reimers and five lead changes in the second half.
While Sweet (34-178, 3 TDs) put his team ahead with 1:45 left on a 1-yard dive, Reimers (27-148) had the last word as his fifth TD of the night, an 18-yard scamper with 40.9 seconds left, handed Tuscarora the thrilling 35-31 win.
"The hole was massive, you could have driven a truck through it," said Reimers of his final TD that came on a night when he scored from 29, 4, 8 and 2 yards as well.
