Grove City rally dooms Fairview

Grove City scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes Friday night to pull out a 25-21 high school football victory over Fairview.

Dwayne Martin pulled the Eagles (5-1) to within 21-19 when he scored on a 3-yard run with 3:43 remaining. Grove City then forced a three-and-out, highlighted by Chris Clark's 13-yard quarterback sack.

Justin Burk returned the Fairview punt 19 yards to the Fairview 33-yard line, where the Eagles took possession with 2:05 remaining.

Clark ran for 14 yards and Justin Spencer got loose for an 18-yard burst down to the 1-yard line. On second down, Mike Burk scored from there with 26 seconds left.

Grove City's victory avenges two losses to Fairview last year — once during the regular season, once in the District 10 playoffs.

Clark rushed for 189 yards and a touchdown for Grove City. Tyler Sargent rushed for 231 yards and a pair of TDs for Fairview (4-2).

In Friday's WPIAL AAA section doubles tournament, Butler's No. 1 doubles team of Carolyn Shetter and Madison Kerr lost in the consolation match for third place to Pine-Richland's Olivia Heim and Shelby Merilli 6-4, 6-3.
