Concord 17, Pinkerton 14
The Astros led 14-3 at the end of the first despite not having the offense on the field for a single play. After Concord’s first drive last 6:11 and ended on a 30-yard field goal by Dylan Thomson, Nick Coombs returned the kickoff 88 yards for a score. Pinkerton stopped the Crimson Tide’s next drive, and this time, Coombs returned a punt 54 yards for a touchdown to make it 14-3. But two Pinkerton turnovers led to two rushing touchdowns by Concord’s Leo Sudieh, the second of which game the Tide a 17-14 lead with 1:18 left. Coombs left the game midway through the second with what appeared to be a right knee injury.
