No. 8 Game of 2008
Coming off a heart-wrenching home loss to unbeaten West Potomac, Lee (1-3) was looking impressive again, leading South County (2-2), 23-13, with 2 minutes, 2 seconds left. But the Stallions’ offense showed its late-game horsepower, shattering Lancer hopes for the second-straight week.
Paced by a 26-yard touchdown run by senior Eric Dorsey, an onside kick recovery by senior Wesley Brown and a game-winning touchdown reception by senior Kevin Taylor-Sakyi in a 19-second span, South County stole victory from Lee, 27-23, on a rainy evening in Lorton.
The late-game, 30-plus-yard game-winning score was eerily similar to the Stallions’ 33-26 win in 2007, when then-senior Titus Pennington sprinted 32 yards for the final-minute, game-clinching touchdown.
South County and Lee meet this season on Oct. 23 in Franconia.
