Countdown: #7 Game From 2014

Rangers score with 21 seconds left to escape with 32-29 win in Oklahoma 3A playoffs

With high school football practice kicking off in just a week’s time, 5NEWS is counting down the days with a countdown of our own.

We’ll recap the top 10 games from the Football Friday Night area each day at 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.

#7

Big plays ruled the day when Roland and Checotah met in the second round of the Oklahoma 3A playoffs.

The Rangers scored on plays of 56, 52 and 70 yards as they built a late lead but the Wildcats found the end zone in the final two minutes to take a 29-23 lead and looked poised to knock Roland out of the postseason.

Running the two-minute drill to perfection, and having less than two minutes to do it in, Roland's Manuel Bunch hit a streaking receiver for a 51-yard touchdown as the Rangers escaped with a 32-29 win.

Bunch threw for 239 yards while adding 182 more yards on the ground.
