Things appeared bleak for Camdenton, but it stuck to the Bear necessities.
The Lakers, who stared at an 18-point deficit in the fourth quarter Friday at Kickapoo, never deviated from the arm and legs of their proven quarterback.
Bear Shore trudged through three difficult quarters before his offense flipped the switch, his four-yard late-game touchdown run capping Camdenton's 24-21 comeback win over the Chiefs.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound senior's numbers weren't gleaming — he completed 17 of 35 passes for 115 yards and two interceptions and added 78 rushing yards on 27 carries — but his fourth-quarter effort left Kickapoo in a purple haze.
