GPB.org game of the week recap: Ringgold needs OT but edges Heritage 20-19
The Heritage Generals had never beaten the Ringgold Tigers and Homecoming 2011 looked like a golden opportunity to do just that. Heritage fell behind 3-0 after a second quarter Adam Ray 34-yard field goal gave Ringgold a slight edge at intermission. In the third quarter though Heritage forced a quick punt and then returned the punt 84 yards for an apparent touchdown. Despite the score being called back due to a penalty, Heritage quickly got most of the yardage back on a Ethan Thompson 61-yard run, and the Generals took the lead a few plays later when Caleb Dietz plowed in from 3 yards out. Dietz would score again early in the third, this time from 16 yards out to give Heritage a 13-3 advantage. The Generals tried some trickery on the extra point however, going for a 2-point conversion on a swinging gate play that was unsuccessful.
The missed conversion would come back to haunt the Generals as Shaun Anderson scored from 3 yards out roughly ninety seconds later and Ringgold’s defense would rise up with under 4 minutes to play to give its offense one final shot. After picking up several third down conversions, Ringgold faced a 30-yard field goal with four seconds left and Ray drilled it to force overtime.
In OT, Heritage went on offense first and Cody Sherlin hauled in a touchdown catch from five yards out to give the Generals a six point edge. The extra point boiked off of the upright, leading to Ringgold taking over, down six. Anderson took the handoff on the first play and scampered 15 yards for the tying score, then Ray connected for the game-winning extra point to give Ringgold a 20-19 victory. Ringgold improved to 4-1 on the year while Heritage suffered its first loss of the season.
