That’s a fairy tale ending for Bullitt East. Congrats Chargers!

Congratulations Bullitt East. Going for two was the right call. 

One of the best trends in football at all levels the last several years is winning and losing on your terms by going for two.  In other words, not playing a scared game and going for the win instead of kicking the can down the road.  It occasionally leads to some heartbreak when it goes wrong, but I absolutely love the guts to go for it.

First ever title for BE? Those kids will be legends in Mt. Washington.
