Victor football finds a way in wild overtime finish at Fairport
FAIRPORT – One thing is certain as Victor nears the Section V high school football playoffs. The Blue Devils won’t shy away from adversity. Victor didn’t fret while trailing by a touchdown in the waning moments of its Oct. 16 game at Fairport. If anything, it thrived amid the chaos. Jackson Mead tied the game with 34 seconds left in regulation. Carter Abbate won it in overtime. Victor (5-2) left Fairport (2-5) with a 20-13 victory that required multiple comebacks, an overtime period, and copious drama. That provided a fitting regular-season finale for a Blue Devils squad ready to pursue sectional glory. “We flipped the switch for some reason when the fourth quarter started,” Victor head coach Geoff Mandile said. “First overtime game is good experience for us, and really good because we got the win.” Victor prevails on late-game heroics Mead caught a 4th down pass from Eli Ricci in the end zone. That was Victor’s last gasp at tying a Fairport squad which had pulled ahead moments prior on a Danny Roessel touchdown reception. Fairport blocked Victor’s extra-point attempt, however, to force overtime. Victor started overtime with the ball. Abbate rushed for a TD after Ricci’s legs moved
