September 11, 1987   Marbury Stadium.    Game conditions:  n/y/a

The St. James Trojans and the Marbury Bulldogs battled scorelessly for three and a half quarters before each team converted a final quarter field goal.  However,
Marbury's Danny Webb scored a touchdown on the second play of the first overtime period giving the Bulldogs a 9-3 victory over the visiting Trojans, who were
playing in their second consecutive overtime game.

Scott Connell connected on a 20 yard field goal, basically the same length as an extra point, midway through the fourth quarter to give Marbury a 3-0 lead.
St. James drove 15 plays and got as close as the Marbury 10 before a 5 yard penalty pushed them back to the 15.  On fourth down, Gavin Finklea converted a
tying field goal late in the game from 32 yards to force overtime.

St. James only gained several yards on their overtime possession, and a field goal attempt failed.  The Marbury possession took only two plays, two five yard runs
by Danny Webb, the second ending the game with the Bulldogs taking the hard-earned victory.
