We're uploading highlights from the game-changing drive during BC High's 7-3 triumph over Xaverian.

In the clip, Xaverian punter Paul Asack handles a bit of a high snap, but his rushed punt attempt hits awkwardly off his right foot and zooms out of bounds at the Hawks 36.

BC High embarks on a five-play scoring drive that features a monster third-down conversion pass from Billy Kiley to Tom Conley (the only completed pass of the night for the Eagles). Facing third-and-9 at the Xaverian 35, Kiley fakes a handoff and rolls to his right before zipping a pass to the leaping Conley for 16 yards and a new set of downs.

Senior captain Brian Sullivan follows with a 12-yard burst and junior Kyle Ewanouski caps the drive with a 7-yard touchdown run behind the left side of the line.

Conor Flaherty adds a pivotal PAT -- forcing Xaverian to go for a touchdown in order to tie the game -- and the Eagles led, 7-3, with 6:42 remaining.

We'll check back with more highlights and analysis throughout the evening.
