Keenan Grissett looked on from the sidelines as Richmond Academy’s offense set up for the biggest play of the game. On 4th and 6 on Benedictine’s 21-yard line with 35 seconds left, the Musketeers head coach had a choice to make. Settle for a field goal to force overtime, or go for a first down and potentially a game-winning touchdown. Grissett chose the latter. The football was snapped to junior quarterback Carson Hand. He searched for his target with the Cadets pressure closing in. Hand threw the ball to senior Jay’Andre Brown near the sideline, but the intended pass was deflected.

Benedictine would take a knee on offense to win 52-49 in a midseason thriller on Friday, Sept. 25 at Richmond Academy Stadium. “We wanted to go for a win,” Grissett said on the decision to go for it on fourth down. “I take the chance every chance I get.” The loss gives Richmond Academy its first loss of the season.
