Lexington, Kentucky – In a nail-biting conclusion, the Bryan Station football team narrowly defeated George Rogers Clark (GRC) 28-25, thanks to a last-second, game-winning kick by kicker Jack Hannan. The match marked the Class 6A, 8th District opener for both teams, and it showcased thrilling back-and-forth action throughout the game.
Hannan’s decisive moment came when he successfully kicked a 27-yard field goal just as time was about to expire. The game had a controversial twist, as the scoreboard operator failed to start the clock correctly on the snap, forcing officials to assess that only 0.8 seconds remained on the clock when Hannan made his kick. Following the field goal, Bryan Station executed a quick kickoff, with Hannan squibbing the ball about 20 yards before a Cardinal player was tackled, solidifying Bryan Station’s fourth win of the season.
With this victory, Bryan Station improved its record to 4-3, while GRC fell to 5-4. GRC came into the game riding momentum with a two-game winning streak and victories in their last four matchups against in-state teams. Next week, GRC will host Madison Central, and Bryan Station will face Frederick Douglass.
The game also held significance for Bryan Station as the team celebrated Senior Night before kickoff. Hannan contributed to the scoreboard early, kicking a 33-yard field goal in the first quarter to open the scoring for his team. GRC took the lead in the second quarter after recovering a fumble and scoring a touchdown. They built on this momentum with a 30-yard touchdown pass and later a field goal that once again gave them the upper hand after a long drive.
However, Bryan Station fought back, tying the game with a touchdown by Avery Johnson and a successful two-point conversion run by Kamani Barbour. Critical defensive plays kept GRC from extending their lead after a false start and a lost fumble limited their scoring opportunities.
Jack Hannan’s game-winning kick capped a crucial 43-yard drive initiated in the final minutes of the game. His head coach, J.T. Haskins, commended Hannan’s performance and highlighted his ability as an exceptional kicker, capable of scoring from anywhere on the field. The team’s success was also bolstered by the return of junior defensive back Jordan Haskins, who made a significant impact with 8.5 tackles and a forced fumble, showcasing his recovery from injury and continuing to draw attention from Power Five schools with his potential as a top recruit.
Overall, Bryan Station’s victory highlighted the resilience of the team amidst challenges, demonstrating the spirit and skill that they will aim to carry into their next matchup against Frederick Douglass.
