ELGIN — Nelson Finne scored on 5-yard pass reception from Schuylar Thompson with 1:27 to play as No. 3 Plainview-Elgin-Millville rallied past No. 6 Jordan 22-19 n the Section One, Class AAA quarterfinals on Tuesday.
The Thompson to Finne pass came on a fourth-and-goal play.
The Bulldogs were able to overcome four turnovers.
"Jordan played a very good game," P-E-M coach Bill Ihrke said. "I didn't think we played a very good first half."
But the Bulldogs had some big plays. Hunter Johnson blocked a field-goal attempt for the Bulldogs on the final play of the first half. In the second half, Thomas Miller had an interception in the red zone. Miller ran it back 89 yards for a touchdown, but a penalty negated the score.
