At many Pandora-Gilboa vs McComb high school football games, the fans in attendance usually get their money’s worth, and the September 16 game was no different. It played out like a championship boxing match between two evenly matched heavyweights giving and taking punches from the opposition all night long.

Unfortunately for P-G, McComb threw the decisive blow with one minute remaining to come from behind, beating the Rockets 35-28 in a physical, hard hitting Blanchard Valley Conference showdown.
