Boise State commit Tradon Bessinger hit Tyson Baggett from 11 yards out to take a 7-0 lead with 59 seconds left.

Bessinger did the dirty work himself on the Darts’ next drive.

A missed tackle in the Davis secondary allowed Fremont to answer on the next drive.

Davis had a chance to take a two-score lead, but couldn’t convert a 39-yard field goal.
Fremont’s defense shut down Davis in the third, holding the Darts scoreless.
Fourth Quarter
Makaio Byrd turned into a tackle-breaking machine after Davis forced a Fremont turnover on downs.
Byrd and Bessinger connected multiple times on a scoring drive, including a catch and run from Byrd before being dragged down inside the five-yard line.
Bessinger and Baggett finished the drive with a touchdown for a 28-14 lead with 3:42 left.

Fremont wasn’t ready to pack it in.
The Silverwolves used a big pass play to advance into the Davis side of the field. Tuatagaloa then got Tennessee commit Salesi Moa involved with a short touchdown pass.
Fremont trailed 28-22 after a two-point conversion.

The Silverwolves seized momentum when they recovered an onside kick near midfield with 3:11 left.
Another desperate, deep-ball gave Fremont possession in the red zone. Tuatagaloa hit Moa in the corner of the end zone, tying the game at 28 with 47 seconds left.
Moa was flagged for a personal foul, taunting penalty after the touchdown. The penalty forced Fremont back 15 yards and cost the team a chance at a two-point conversion.
Overtime
Davis took the football first in OT.
Bessinger and Baggett finished the drive with the third scoring pass of the night between the two. A bad snap kept the score 34-28 with Fremont taking the football.
