Trailing by 12 at the half, Springfield (TN) needed a massive comeback to keep its postseason hopes alive on the road at Haywood Friday night. The Yellow Jackets got a fourth down stop to start the third and scored on their ensuing possession. Then their special teams unit took over. Springfield would go on to outscore Haywood 27-0 in the second half and converted on three of the five onside kick attempts sophomore kicker Jovanni Colmenares would try over the final 24 minutes of the game. They opened the second half with an unsuccessful attempt but converted on their first with 5:02 remaining in the third quarter. Four plays later, Amiron Leavell punched it in to give Springfield the lead back.
