SNOHOMISH — The Grizzlies remained perfect in the Dick Armstrong Cup at 12-0 with a 20-13 win, but only just as the Panthers mounted a furious last-minute comeback that came up just short.
Chrisvin Bonshe scored the second of his two rushing touchdowns midway through the fourth quarter to give Glacier Peak a seemingly safe 20-7 lead.
However, the Panthers gave themselves a chance when Mason Surdi pulled down a desperation fourth-down pass from David Hammer and scored to make it 20-13 with 1 minute, 55 seconds remaining. Snohomish’s Zayah Nelson then recovered the ensuing onside kick, and the Panthers drove to the Glacier Peak 21-yard line. However, a fourth-and-five pass fell incomplete as the Grizzlies held on.
Mariner High School transfer Isaiah Cuellar rushed for the other touchdown for Glacier Peak.
