Lexington Catholic defeated Harrison County 29-28 last week after the Thorobreds failed on a two point conversion attempt in the closing seconds of the game. QB Justin Burke has passed for 1120 yards this season to lead the high octane Lexington Catholic aerial attack.

The Jaguars had pulled to within six, 30-24, with approximately five minutes left in the game and their defense had forced Lexington Catholic into a fourth-and-seven situation. The ball was on the Lexington Catholic 45, but instead of punting the ball, Justin Burke hit Wes Caldwell in the middle of the field and Caldwell turned it into a catch-and-run 55 yard TD. Burke also hit Caldwell with a two point conversion pass to make the score 38-24 with 4:51 remaining on the clock.
