At times Saturday it looked like Bullitt East High School (2-5), despite losing double-digit seniors to graduation, still had the Knights' number.
The game went down to the last second as a pass from senior Matt Bowles went over two Marion County backs and through the hands of junior Jordan Smith in the end zone as time expired.
Marion County High School (5-2) slipped by despite a nasty start and trailing in the fourth quarter.
The Knights racked up 60 yards of penalties in the first half and both sidelines were crying foul at the officiating.
