Late Touchdown Gives Shamrocks 19-12 Win Over Glenn In Thriller

A six yard touchdown scamper around left end by Joe Fisher with a wall of blockers ahead of him, turned an apparent 12-12 tie into a 19-12 victory for the North Liberty Shamrocks in their opening game against John Glenn High School Saturday night at Jackson field. This capped an 85 yard drive by the Shamrocks that started with approximately two minutes to play that featured a fine run and big gain by Bruce Summerfield on a screen pass from Wes Peterson to set up the final score.
