Mike Quinn's 23 yard touchdown pass to a diving Omar Manasrah in overtime gave Wayne Hills (10-1) the win.

Quinn finished 16-for-21 with 264 yards and five touchdowns. Three of Quinn's scoring strikes and a 1 yard Brian Dowling touchdown run helped Wayne Hills build a commanding 28-7 lead. James Hogan caught Quinn's first TD toss, a 26 yarder. Manasrah (23 yards) and Dowling (50 yards) had Quinn's second and third scoring strikes. Quinn threw his fourth score to Mike Driesse to give Wayne Hills a 35-20 lead at the end of the third quarter.
