Bulldogs rally to top Crusaders in overtime

Virgin Valley's Garrett Leavitt ran for a 9-yard touchdown and threw a two-point conversion pass to tie the game with 1:24 to play, then tossed a 9-yard TD to DeVonte Milligan on the second play of overtime as the Bulldogs topped host Faith Lutheran 26-20 on Friday.

Leavitt also threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Dillon Graves, and had a 1-yard touchdown run.

Keenan Smith ran for touchdowns of 11 and 8 yards to give Faith Lutheran the late lead.

But the Faith Lutheran defense could not hold despite forcing Virgin Valley into two fourth-down situations. On the first, Leavitt hit Milligan for a 16-yard first-down completion. On the second, the Crusaders were flagged for pass interference.

Leavitt passed for 141 yards and also ran for 43 yards on seven carries. Faith Lutheran got 66 yards rushing and 49 yards receiving from Smith.
