The Bulldogs led 12-8 at halftime and held that four-point advantage until the first play of the fourth quarter when Keaton Kahle scored the first of two short touchdowns on a 2-yard run to put Redbank Valley ahead 18-8 three seconds into the final 12 minutes.

Otto-Eldred looked like it was going to answer back driving down the field and had a third-and-4 at the Redbank Valley 10-yard line, but Sam Hetrick made the play of the game for the Bulldogs picking off a Cole Sebastian pass at the goal line and returning it 85 yards to the Otto-Eldred 15-yard line before Sebastian ran him down from behind with 10:21 to play.

That led to a 9-yard Kahle run with 9:32 left in the game that extended the Redbank Valley lead to 17, 25-8.

The Bulldogs then tacked on another touchdown after stopping Otto-Eldred on downs when Travis Crawford scored his second short touchdown thanks to a 1-yard run with 3:23 left.

Redbank Valley led 12-0 right out of the gate scoring on its first two drives thanks to a 4-yard run by Crawford and a 2-yard bulldoze by Hunter Wiles.

But Otto-Eldred answered in the most unlikely of fashions late in the first half.

Following a Redbank Valley punt, the Terrors took over at their own 10-yard line, and the first run went for a 9-yard loss leaving Otto-Eldred 99 yards from a touchdown.

But O-E went the distance of the field scoring on an 11-yard Cameron Magee run that was followed by a Colton Gietler 2-point conversion run that made it 12-8 at halftime.

Kahle earned Hager Paving Player of the Game honors by rushing for the two touchdowns while also going 8 of 12 passing for 153 yards. Crawford chipped in 12 carries for 32 yards and the scores. Hunter Martz had three catches for 58 yards.
