FRIDAY FOOTBALL ROUNDUP : Locke Settles for Tie With Roosevelt

Locke had four chances to score within its opponent’s five-yard line during the final minute, but Roosevelt’s defense preserved a 20-20 tie in a Southeastern Conference game at Locke.

The Saints drove 54 yards in seven plays to the Roughriders’ five. After two short runs moved the ball to the one, Akili Roberson was stopped on a quarterback sneak and Sirr Parker was halted on an off-tackle run with 43 seconds left. The Roughriders ran two plays up the middle as the clock ran out.

The Roughriders tied the score at 20 with 3:59 left in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Frank Madrid completed four of six passes for 45 yards, including a 15-yard scoring pass to Juan Rodriguez. The 55-yard, eight-play drive was aided by a pass-interference call against linebacker Allen Williams. However, Williams redeemed himself by blocking the attempted extra point.

Locke’s defense also made a goal-line stand late in third quarter. Locke quarterback Akili Roberson completed 10 of 18 passes for 183 yards. Rodriguez ran 22 times for 128 yards and a touchdown. Madrid completed six of 17 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown with an interception.
