Friday rife with last-second touchdowns for area teams

If we're being honest, Week 2 of the 2016 season wasn't the most loaded of schedules on paper. But the games provided a number of thrilling outcomes.

The most exciting came in Cedarburg, when the Bulldogs took a lead with 35 seconds left, only to watch Sussex Hamilton answer with 14 seconds left on a touchdown completion between Jordan Smith and Jackson Kollath.

For me personally, that game reminded me of a 2010 battle between Hamilton and Mukwonago, when Nick Patterson returned a kickoff with 22 seconds left to give the Chargers a 31-27 win moments after Mukwonago had taken a late lead.

In Pewaukee, the Pirates rallied from two scores down with 8 minutes to go and scored a game-winning touchdown with 16.2 seconds left when quarterback Josh Swanson found Connor Vogt.

Arrowhead's 33-30 upset loss to Hudson didn't end on a last-second play, but an escape act by Hudson quarterback Max Stubbendick kept a drive alive that ultimately proved to be Arrowhead's undoing.

New Berlin West, meanwhile, was granted a timeout with 0.5 seconds remaining after Milwaukee Lutheran thought it had won the game and began flooding the field. The Vikings made the most of their final chance when Nate Egofske found Bryan Boyd for the winning score. Andrew Gurman has the story and the video.

Port Washington fell to Kewaskum by one score, and Greendale defeated Menomonee Falls by a 14-7 count among the other close calls. Brookfield Academy outscored Shoreland Lutheran in the fourth quarter, 22-7, to win, 36-28.
