The Rolesville Rams were looking for revenge Friday night after falling to Cardinal Gibbons last season in November.
Last year, Rolesville handled Cardinal Gibbons in the regular season only to be ousted from the playoffs by the Crusaders.
On Friday night, the Rams got a little payback, but just barely. Rolesville edged Cardinal Gibbons, 30-27 in overtime.
"I think it's a win for everybody in that sense. You know, I think whenever you get two highly competitive and successful programs together, it's good for the football community in general and the greater community as a whole," said Steven Wright, Cardinal Gibbons head coach. "And so, we're excited to be able to be a part of it. Rolesville's got a ton of talent and Coach Rack (head coach Ranier Rackley) does a great job with those guys, and so, we'll see if we can't make it competitive tonight."
They made it competitive and then some.
