The Hood Classic lived up to the hype as the Bulldogs and the Beach Boys went down to the wire for inner-city bragging rights.
With the score tied 14-14 in the fourth quarter and the Vikings in scoring position, Garfield’s Amdane Aboudou intercepted a pass and returned it 84 yards for a touchdown to give the Bulldog’s 21-14 lead.
Rainier Beach didn’t back down as they scored and converted a two-point conversion by Scottie Humphries to take a 22-21 lead.
The Bulldogs then sealed the deal as freshman quarterback EJ Caminong connected with Quinton Jordan on a 65-yard game winning touchdown pass to give Garfield a 28-22 victory over Rainier Beach.
