The seemingly indomitable Bridgeport High football team rolled up the yards again, but in a rare occurrence, couldn't pin down enough points.
 
Despite rushing for 347 yards, the No. 1 Indians played catch-up for most of the second half in dropping a 33-27 stunner to No. 9 Chapmanville in the West Virginia Class AAA quarterfinals on Saturday night at Wayne Jamison Field.
 
"That was something, I'm telling you," Chapmanville coach Zach Belcher said. "I'm a little emotional."
 
The Tigers will take their program's first 12-0 record to Nitro next weekend to face the Wildcats, who reached the semifinals with a 57-38 shootout win over North Marion.

Bridgeport scored at least 48 points against every West Virginia opponent, being held to 33 by Virginia-based Heritage in a weather-shortened game back on Sept. 5.
 
On Saturday night against the feisty Tigers, the Indians labored far and beyond trying to stop the Chapmanville passing attack. Sophomore Dakota Dalton completed 12-of-24 passes for 247 yards and touchdowns to Trey Ward and Benji Adkins.
 
"Our offensive line made that pocket clean and he made good decisions," Belcher said.
 
Bridgeport played keep away with the Tigers in the first 24 minutes despite a wide disparity in time of possession before Chapmanville took the second half kickoff and went 60 yards in 3:49 aided by an unsportsmanlike penalty that converted a second-and-long into a first down.
