White Bear Lake was inside the red zone, trailing by six in the fourth quarter when star quarterback Oluwatomi Animasaun sustained an injury that forced him to exit the contest on fourth down.

That left the Bears with their backup signal caller in a must-convert situation. But it was a Farmington star making the game-altering play in the clutch moment.

Minnesota-Duluth commit Dylan Sather intercepted a desperation pass at the goal-line and returned it 98 yards for a score, shedding multiple potential tacklers along the way to put the Tigers up 19-6 in the final frame.

Farmington then forced a stop, and proceeded to march its ensuing drive down for a chip-shot field goal with 3 minutes to go to secure a 22-6 victory and move to 3-0 on the season for the first time since 2020.
