With 1:40 to play, University City trailed The Bishop’s School of La Jolla for the first time in the game Sept. 23.
But Dreyden Garner raced 78 yards with a pass from backup quarterback Quentyn Demara to the end zone to regain the lead for good as the Centurions rallied for a 49-46 victory over the Knights.
Bishop’s (3-2) had one last gasp, but a bad snap on the game’s final play doomed a 46-yard field goal try to tie it.
