Rockets edge Chartiers-Houston, 7-6
Josh Clites kicked the winning extra point and had a drive-killing interception Friday night as Jefferson-Morgan held on for a 7-6 non-conference victory at Chartiers-Houston.
DL Garrett caught a 35-yard pass from Jacob Broadwater with 1:10 remaining in the first half and Clites hit the extra point for the final points of the game.
Matt Whitfield powered in from two yards with 1:26 left in the first quarter, but the point-after was missed.
Clites’ interception happened in the third quarter with the Bucs inside the Rockets’ 15-yard line.
Colten Davidson had an 85-yard kickoff return after Whitfield’s touchdown, but the return was nullified with a block in the back penalty.
