LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - It didn't come easy, but Bell County
capped off its perfect season with a state championship Saturday
afternoon.
The Bobcats beat pesky Bullitt East 15-13 in the KHSAA Class 4A
state final in front of 6,103 fans at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
Bell County scored 15 points in a row in the second half, then
stopped the Chargers' two-point conversion attempt with 10 seconds
to play to give coach Dudley Hilton his first 15-0 season.
The Chargers (9-6), trailing 15-7, drove downfield and scored on
Zack McCarthy's 1-yard TD run with 10 seconds to play. Bullitt
East's two-point conversion try failed when Matthew Bowles pass
sailed out of bounds.
It was the third state title for Hilton.
