First-ever Division III 7-on-7 State Championship goes down to wire

The inaugural year of the Division III 7-on-7 Championship saw a prominent face in Texas high school football take the crown as the Gunter Tigers ousted the Palmer Bulldogs, 34-27, in an overtime thriller.

With just over a minute left in regulation, Palmer quarterback Adrian Cisneros threw a full-field bomb to a wide-open receiver who strolled into the end zone for a touchdown. Palmer then elected to go for one and Cisneros threw another bullet to his receiver, tying the game at 27. Gunter quarterback Ethan Everson was unable to connect with a receiver on either of his two shots to the end zone, forcing overtime.
