Fayette’s defense changed the complexion of the game in the final minute of the first half.
Brodi Tucker had the pick six. Fayette made multiple defensive stops in the second half, but the offense couldn’t overcome a dominant performance from Harrisburg’s defensive front.

Harrisburg’s Hunter Winscott had 101 rushing yards. Silas Buckler caught four passes for 82 yards. Both teams are now 3-5.
