It wasn’t until Grissom’s onside kick attempt in the waning seconds bounced out of bounds that Huntsville could finally begin celebrating a 30-27 victory over its crosstown rival in a penalty-plagued region matchup at Milton Frank Stadium.

Sophomore Will Carter came off the bench to pass for three touchdowns and run for another as the Crimson Panthers improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in Class 7A, Region 4. Grissom dropped to 2-1, 0-1.
