LEXINGTON — Penalties plagued both teams in a KHSAA Class A top-five showdown, but Holy Cross couldn’t capitalize as much as Sayre in a 29-6 loss on Oct. 2. Chris Brumbaugh scored the Cougars’ lone touchdown on a 32-yard pass from Jerek Hoover midway through the second frame, answering an earlier score by Sayre after the Spartans failed to convert on a fake punt inside their 45. Sayre, ranked No. 2 behind Pikeville in the latest Class A media poll , otherwise bottled up the No. 5 Cougars (5-1) in the first half and through the remainder. Isaiah King scored twice for the Spartans (6-0). His 39-yard scamper to get them on track after a shaky first quarter might have been the highlight of the night if not for a 75-yard punt return touchdown by Jordan Backers. “We talk about that third phase a lot, and we work on it a lot,” Sayre coach Chad Pennington said. “We know that that third phase, in games against really good teams like Holy Cross, it really, really matters.
