Comeback
Title for Dragons!
 The Dunberry Dragons are back-to-back champions
as they score a 37-27 comeback victory over the River Heights Warriors. The
Warriors were humming in the first half as they jumped out to a 21-6 lead.
Their first score came off a 69 yard bomb that helped them draw first blood.
Then their second TD came as a result of a drive stopping interception. But,
the Dragons managed to scrape together 13 points and trailed by only eight
at the half. Then, in the third quarter, Dunberry shifted their offense into
gear and stole the momentum with two consecutive TD's to take a 27-21 lead
into the fourth quarter. One of the TD's came as a result of a Dragons pick-off
in their own territory. Also, the Dunberry 'D' stiffened and held the Warriors
scoreless for the quarter. They would only give up 6 points in the second
half. However, up 30-24 the Dragons went for the jugular as their QB threw
deep and hit his receiver on a 69 yard TD bomb. That would prove the final
blow as it completely deflated the River Heights defense. The Dragons would
allow another FG late, but by that time the game was clearly in their hands.
The Dragons passed for 354 yards, 3 TDs and rushed for 78 yards and 1 TD.
This victory gives the Dragons their third Metro Bowl title in franchise
history. Next, they travel home to celebrate with their fans in a Main Street
parade.... GAME STATS
