With 19 seconds left on the clock, quarterback Darin McGhee threw a 64 yard touchdown pass to receiver R.J. Sharp. The score then read Oroville 21 — Paradise 22. Again it was McGhee to Sharp for the two point conversion. Oroville won 23-22. According to the players, the game against P.V. was one of the most emotional games played this season, especially for the defense. The offense, too, a ided its bit of excitement to the game when after a good kickoff return, they then scored the winning touchdown with no time left on the clock.
