After years of Maryville's dominance over Bradley's football team, Bradley's star power has finally brought an end to Maryville's reign.
In a thrilling Friday night Region 2-6A showdown at Bear Stadium, Bradley showcased their prowess with two touchdown passes, a rushing score, and relentless pressure on the visiting Rebels. Despite their dominant performance, Maryville remained within striking distance, trailing by just one score. However, the defining moment of the game came in the final 2 minutes and 10 seconds when Martin, with nerves of steel, secured a game-sealing interception. This pivotal play allowed the Bears to stand firm against the formidable state powerhouse, emerging victorious with a hard-fought 21-13 win.
