The score was tied 14-14 by halftime. Both defenses dug in and held ground thru the third quarter. Then, late in the 4th quarter the Comets broke through with a pass that was taken 98 yard for what should have been a game breaking TD.

The Comets won the toss, but neither team were able to sustain a drive on their first possession. Then, the Comets began to connect on passes and drove deep into Dunberry territory. But, they stunned thair fans when they threw the ball away on a silly interception that gave the ball back to Dunberry. Next, the Dragons put together a spectacular drive that featured a series of solid runs and penetrating passes that culminated in a 3 yard TD run late in overtime. It would prove the winning drive as the Comets were unable to engineer a comeback. The Dragons passed for 253 yards, 1 TD and rushed for 206 yards and 2 TDs. This capped a phenomenal season for the Dragons as they win their second Metro Bowl title in franchise history. Next, they travel home to party with their frenzied fans on Main street.... GAME STATS
