Two consecutive plays decided Saturday\u2019s first conference football tilt between the visiting Ketchikan High School Kings and Juneau-Douglas High School.<\/p>\n

With four minutes to go in the game, the Crimson Bears defense came up with a crucial stop on their own 18 yard line, breaking up a shot at the end zone that would have put Kayhi up by two points. One play later, backup quarterback Liam Van Sickle connected with running back Lance Galletes-Fiagatusa for an 82-yard touchdown pass that sucked the air out of Ketchikan\u2019s comeback and all but iced the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cLance is my most trusted guy, he is a clutch guy, he has the heart, you know,\u201d JDHS coach John Hamrick said after the win. \u201cAfter a back and forth game it again came down to heart in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Galletes-Fiagatusa and his cousin and teammate Cody Galletes switched jerseys to honor their recently deceased grandmother. Galletes-Fiagatusa scored all four of the Crimson Bears touchdowns on 183 all purpose yards. Hamrik credits the win to the pair\u2019s emotional play.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose two cousins, you saw it, they were in that Power I formation and they just got us moving with their emotion,\u201d Hamrick said. \u201cIt was fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scoring opened in the first quarter when Van Sickle found Galletes-Fiagatusa on a 41-yard touchdown pass. Kayhi answered with a long drive capped by a quarterback sneak into the end zone and a two-point conversion for the 8-6 lead after one quarter.<\/p>\n

Before halftime, Galletes-Fiagatusa added a rushing score and Ketchikan countered with a 17-yard beauty of a pass to the corner of the end zone and the third lead change in the first half. Juneau-Douglas scored the only points in the third off another Galletes-Fiagatusa run from the goal line.<\/p>\n

After Galletes-Fiagatusa\u2019s 82-yarder, Kayhi\u2019s Trevor Ortiz scored a patient, field-switching 35-yard run in the closing minutes to bring Kayhi within four, but the Crimson Bears stymied the Ortiz\u2019 attempt at the two-point conversion to protect their four point lead and close scoring 24-20.<\/p>\n

After a grueling season, the Crimson Bears are 1-0 in the conference, setting up a possible week eight showdown with Thunder Mountain. JDHS will first have to contend with North Pole on their turf next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re filling in OK. We lost our quarterback and our center and it would be great if those guys could make a comeback but these kids\u2019 health is more important. We\u2019ll put together the best team we can and go to North Pole and see what happens,\u201d Hamrick said.<\/p>\n
