WATERTOWN — Jared Hendricks and Chris Furr knew exactly what play to run at the start of the Red and Black’s game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter against Tri-City on Saturday.
Lined up in a shotgun formation on the Red and Black 24-yard-line, Hendricks peaked right and saw Furr positioned along the opposing sideline with the cornerback five yards off of the line of scrimmage. Hendricks hiked the ball, made a quick look at Keegan Queior slanting up the middle of the field, then focused his eyes on Furr and unleashed a 36-yard pass that found the receiver in stride and resulted in a 76-yard go-ahead touchdown.
The score gave the Watertown Red and Black the lead and ultimately the 27-24 Empire Football League victory over the previously unbeaten Spartans.
