St. Pius scored the first 21 points. Albuquerque Academy scored the final 21 points.
In this case, it was better to be last than first.
Academy scored three touchdowns in the final 6 minutes and 52 seconds, including two in the last 24 seconds, and the unranked Chargers posted one of the bigger upsets of the prep football season, taking down Class 4A’s No. 2-ranked St. Pius 49-36 in a bonkers District 2-4A matchup on Saturday afternoon at Richard A. Harper Memorial Stadium.
“This has been the best moment of my life so far,” Academy junior quarterback William Braun said. “I’ve never been so happy to be out here with my brothers.”
