After the Birmingham Stallions tied the sport on a late landing, the visiting Memphis Showboats picked up their first win of the season, 24-20, in time beyond regulation on Friday night time.
The Showboats (1-4) had an opportunity to win in regulation, however Matt Coghlin was large proper on a 57-yard field-goal try. Within the best-of-three time beyond regulation format, the Showboats accomplished a pair of two-point conversions, whereas the Stallions (3-2) got here up empty.
Stallions quarterback Case Cookus, who was 15-for-33 for 145 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, discovered Marlon Williams on a 6-yard landing go with 25 seconds left. Cookus then hit Jace Sternberger for the two-point conversion to tie the sport at 20-all.
The Showboats jumped out to an 11-0 lead, highlighted by a 78-yard landing go from Dresser Winn (17 of 29 for 235 yards) to Dee Anderson late within the first quarter. Memphis led 17-3 on the half after Isiah Hennie took the ball 108 yards for a rating following a missed discipline objective late within the second quarter.
Cookus related with Jordan Thomas on a 33-yard rating within the third for the Stallions’ first TD, then the groups traded discipline targets within the fourth earlier than Cookus’ late heroics pressured time beyond regulation.
