GARDINER — York took advantage of Gardiner’s third turnover to score the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, earning a 17-14 victory in a Class C football game Friday night.
Dawson Gundlah, a junior backup running back, broke several tackles on his way to the go-ahead 15-yard run, stiff-arming the last defender.
“It wasn’t really designed, but once I saw the hole, I decided to take it,” Gundlah said. “I wasn’t really thinking. I wanted to get in.”
