Commerce ends Pilot Point run

The Pilot Point Bearcats met the Commerce Tigers for the area championship Nov. 21, with the Tigers escaping with the 54-47 win.

The two teams combined for over 1,000 yards of offense and 101 points in a game with six lead changes that came down to the final play of the game.

“Our kids give great effort,” said Chad Worrell, Pilot Point athletic director and head football coach. “They played their tails off against a talented bunch, and we had to overcome some injuries. It’s a physical game, and we had some kids go out with injuries, but we had a chance there at the end and just came up short.”
