After going up 17-0 early in the 2nd quarter Aldine Davis by most accounts was done for the night. Conroe was going for its first 2-0 start since 2013 and the Tigers were rolling.

Then Aldine turned a fumble deep in Conroe territory into a touchdown, then a recovered muffed punt led to another touchdown. Next thing you know Davis is leading 19-17 with 2:02 left on the clock, all they have to do is defend the kickoff.

And then things got weird.

Conroe kick returner Dr’Ondra Lewis was pretty much stuffed on the ensuing return for a short gain only to emerge from the pack, a stutter step and he was gone, 87 yards for a seemingly dramatic touchdown as his teammates mobbed him in the end zone.

With 1:37 remaining all Conroe had to do was defend the kickoff and they were 2-0, a great start to the season.
