Dorsey led 14-7 with 10:56 remaining in the second quarter after sophomore defensive lineman Jordon Simmons ran in for a touchdown following an interception.

But that doesn’t tell half the story.

Simmons intercepted a pass from Taft quarterback Bam Goodall at the Dons’ 45 yard line, but Simmons was stripped by Taft tailback Lucky Radley at the Toreadors’ 35-yard line.

After Radley had trouble picking up the loose football, Simmons then picked the ball up at the 15-yard line and marched into the end zone.

Dorsey was called for an unsportsmanlike penalty and attempted a 2-point conversion from the 18-yard line. Taft was then assessed both a roughing-the-passer and pass interference penalty. Dorsey quarterback Joseph Gray passed to Jay Mickens from the four-yard line, but it went incomplete.
