Lichtenberg magic! New St. John’s maestro leads game-winning drive capped by TD to Toler
The torch has been passed and it resulted in more Lichtenberg magic.
Trailing 20-16 with 1:37 left and 80 yards between St. John’s and the go-ahead touchdown, junior Titans’ maestro Blake Lichtenberg marched his team to the game-winning score as time expired. He rifled a pass through the Anthony Wayne defense to wideout Justyn Toler as the clock struck zero for a game-winning 10-yard touchdown in a 22-20 seat-squirming victory.
Blake took over the reigns of the St. John’s offense after big brother, Brady, guided the Titans the last four years. Brady, now a freshman at the University of Cincinnati, was on the St. John’s sideline to witness the St. John’s comeback.
