Tracy slowly and methodically took control of this game as they opened up a 28-6 lead through 3 quarters, but the Bulldogs had to fight, scrape, and claw to claim victory as they saw Kimball put up 20 points on them in the final 9 minutes of the game.
Kimball wasted no time bringing out the Halloween tricks as they started the game with an onside kick recovery. It would ultimately be the first of four recoveries on the night that would plague Tracy. Fortunately on the first one, the Tracy defense held on four downs.
Tracy would get on the board with 4:23 left in the first when David Grisham scored the first of two touchdowns on a 38 yard run. The extra point by Scott Paterson made it 7-0. Paterson would make good on 3 more extra points later in the game.
Tracy struck gold with 10 seconds left in the quarter as Kimball was marching towards a score. Jayden Ballard-McClellan picked off a pass at the 3 yard line and returned it 97 yards to give Tracy a 14-0 lead.
Kimball responded early in the 2nd quarter on a 12 yard touchdown pass. The extra point attempt was blocked by Max Moore to make it 14-6.
Jeno Lawhorn recovered a Kimball onside kick and then propelled himself another 28 yards to put Tracy in good starting field position for their next drive. Brady Brown would then score to put Tracy up very comfortably at 21-6.
Tracy would get another chance to add on before the half with a 37 yard field goal but it came up about a foot short. The Dogs entered the Locker room feeling pretty good about the game leading 21-6.
With the defense continuing to make stops, Tracy would score with 2:18 left in the 3rd on a Grisham 16 yard rushing touchdown to give the Dogs a comfortable 28-6 lead.
The momentum of the contest shifted dramatically with 8:49 left in the game when Kimball connected on a 52 yard touchdown pass to draw closer at 28-12.
On the next drive, Tracy would fumble near midfield and Kimball made the Dogs pay with a 41 yard touchdown strike. The 2 point pass conversion now made it 28-20.
With the onside kick working in their favor, Kimball got another one and worked their way down to the 3 yard line until the Tracy defense pushed them back.
With 2:22 left, Kimball turned up the heat in the game with a 60 yard touchdown pass. Tracy broke up the 2 point conversion that would have tied the game. Tracy now held a fragile 28-26 lead.
Kimball then collected their 4th successful onside kick causing the defense to promptly return to the field. The Dogs would hold on this possession but the Tracy offense was unable to move the ball to close out the game. Tracy would need one more stop with time expiring to finally pull the plug on the determined Jaguars.
