Virgin Valley High's Humberto Urias threw a 14-yard scoring strike to Kyle Tostenson with 4:36 remaining Friday to the lead the Bulldogs’ football team past host Shadow Ridge, 20-16.
Virgin Valley trailed 14-6 at halftime but cut its deficit when Jr. Toscano returned the second half kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown. The Bulldogs were successful on the two-point conversion attempt to even the score at 14.
Shadow Ridge eventually took a 16-14 lead on a safety when Urias was forced to knock the ball out of his end zone after a bad snap.
But Urias and Tostenson wouldn’t be denied, with the duo hooking up for the fourth time in the past two weeks for the game-winner. It was 3A classification Virgin Valley’s third straight win to open the season against 4A schools.
Tostenson had a 5-yard touchdown reception from Urias for the first points of the game. The duo hooked up twice last week in a win against Sierra Vista.
