With the sun setting early on Friday afternoon in Skyline Hills, Coronado made sure the sun didn’t set on their playoff hopes. The Islanders came from behind to pull out a wild 22-21 win at Morse.
“It was exciting,” said Coronado quarterback Kodie Englehart. “All the adrenaline is up and everyone is hitting harder and harder.”
The final three minutes of the game were frantic. With 3:06 left, Morse lined up to punt in their own territory ahead 21-14, but the snap went over the head of Tigers punter Karl Michelson and rolled into the endzone. Michelson scooped up the ball but was hit by Englehart and fumbled out of the endzone, resulting in a safety.
“I’m not usually on punt return, but we didn’t have enough people so I just came running from the sideline,” Englehart said. “Good timing and then they missed the snap so I went down there and hit him trying to get the ball.”
Coronado running back Charles Westbrook returned the ensuing free kick all the way down to the Morse two-yard line. After the Morse defense stuffed three straight Englehart runs up the middle, the Islanders faced fourth down. On fourth down, Englehart ran to the outside, finding the endzone from two-yards out with 50 seconds left.
“It was a designed pitch play and [Morse linebacker Patrick Mitchell] would always go out and take the pitch man,” Englehart said. “I just thought if I ran up the middle I would get it. But I guess not.”
As the darkness settled in on the game’s final drive, Morse moved the ball all the way to the Coronado 25-yard line. But with 34 seconds left, Tigers quarterback Malik Ransom fumbled and the Islanders recovered to seal the victory.

“The four downs that we scored on with one minute left just brought us all up and just kept it going,” Englehart said.
With the win, Coronado (6-4, 5-1 Central) punched their ticket to the Division IV playoffs. Englehart is optimistic that the Islanders will be able to host a first round game.
“It’s really big for the playoffs,” Englehart said.
Morse (6-4, 4-2) awaits their fate when playoff seedings are made tomorrow. The Tigers are currently on the bubble.
