Tied at 13 in the 3rd when Melissa strikes when Sam Fennigan hits Carlos Branch in the flats and Branch does the rest, 75 yards later and Branch finds the endzone to break the tie and give Melissa the lead, point after try no good however
Celina responds, Reagan Davenport with a short pass to Trae Hollins and Hollins turns on the burners and he goes 75 yards for the house call, the P A T good and Celina up 1.And then the play of the game, Fennigan back to pass, goes deep and the ball is DEFLECTED right into the waiting hands of Jack Richardson who walks in from there to give Melissa the lead late in the 4th.Last chance for Celina, 4th and a mile to go, Davenport has to go deep but he goes too deep as his pass is incomplete, melissa would another touchdown late and that would do it, Melissa goes into Celina and gets the hard fought 32-20 victory to start their season.
