In a season that has been defined by close losses at home, the Coconino Panthers football team finally got a game to go their way at Cromer Stadium. It came when they needed it most.

The No. 14-seeded Panthers scored a game-winning touchdown with under two minutes left in their 4A first-round playoff game against the No. 19 Mesquite Wildcats. Marching down the field, Mesquite got to the Coconino 9-yard line with two seconds left. But senior Habib Aceval broke up a pass at the goal line to seal the win, 29-22.
