It turned defensive back all night long.

Pembroke score with 1:09 left in the game. Colon Clafin caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Cory Brandon, making the score, 7-6.

Titan head coach Bob Bancroft elected to go for the 2-point conversion, but the pass fail incomplete. Sharon was able to get the ball back and run out the clock.

Pembroke elected to go for the two-point conversion, because they were having trouble with extra-points.

"We didn't feel confident," said Bancroft on WATD radio, whose team was 3 for 7 in extra-point. "Our kicker got hurt (and) it didn't make sense."

After a scoreless first half, Sharon's Sean Asnes scored on a four-yard run to give Sharon at 7-0 lead over Pembroke after three quarter after the Eagles recovered a fumbled punt.
