Remember 1993 when the Buffalo Bills trailed the Houston Oilers 35-3, but rallied to win?
First, there was a last-second win over No. 1-seeded Mission Hills to capture the San Diego Section Division I championship. “I’d like to tell you there was some kind of magical speech, but there wasn’t. It was a matter of settling down, believing we could get it done because we had done it before.”• Trailing Mission Hills 23-14 with 8:34 to play at Southwestern College, Mater Dei Catholic used five plays to go 79 yards, scoring on a 51-yard swing pass from quarterback Dominic Nankil to running back Anthony McMillian with 6:27 remaining to get to within 23-21.
• That’s when Nankil went to work. Starting from his 5 after a holding penalty, Nankil took his team 95 yards, running for 24 yards and passing for 59 with the final 30 coming on a pinpoint strike to Jerry McClure in the corner of the end zone with 3 seconds left. • Then things started to change. After a failed fourth-down pass at the Downey 8, Mater Dei Catholic forced a punt. The snap was high, the punter jumped on the ball for a safety and the Crusaders trailed 21-2.
• An interception by DJ Overstreet gave the ball right back to the Crusaders, and Nankil drove the Crusaders 96 yards on four plays with McMillian capping the drive with a 3-yard TD run with 3:52 left. The big play was an 88-yard pass to a wide-open Rollin George after Nankil scrambled out of trouble. The Crusaders now led 22-21.
