BURTON, Texas (KBTX) -The Burton Panthers claimed victory over the Hearne Eagles with a 27-25 win during week 2 of Friday Football Fever.

Why did Burton win? It was a back-and-forth game, but ultimately the Panthers capitalized early with some timely plays, including a strong opening and a late fourth-quarter push to retake the lead.

Burton struck first from the six-yard line. Quarterback Kayden Patterson took matters into his own hands, finding the sideline and crossing the goal line to put the Panthers up 6-0.

In the 2nd quarter, the Hearne defense held strong, giving Zayden Mercer the time he needed in the pocket to fire a rocket to Ja’Damion McGee, who evened up the score. A missed point after attempt would set the score with Harne trailing 7-6.
