Quarterback Matt Oellerich scored on a 3-yard run with 35 seconds left Friday night and host Baylor held on for a 27-23 victory over Knox Webb in a high school football game.
The victory was Baylor’s third straight and the Red Raiders ended the season at 5-5.
With five seconds left, Baylor was called for a defensive penalty. That gave Webb one more shot at winning the game, but its final pass fell incomplete.

Knox Webb responded with 23 points in the second quarter and carried a 23-20 lead into intermission. Baylor got a touchdown in the second quarter on a 44-yard pass from Oellerich to Murray.
