SMYRNA -- The Blackman Blaze (3-3, 3-1) upset the Smyrna Bulldogs (5-2, 3-1) 27-21 in a thriller in the Kia of Murfreesboro Game of the Week on Friday night.

Smyrna, down six, was driving late in the game with 28 seconds to go when a John Turner pass into the end zone that would have tied the game at 27 was picked off by Blackman's Queontez Pugh, essentially ending the game.

"I was just playing my keys," Pugh said. "Coach told me to stay deep. We had planned on them throwing where they did. I am just excited for the win.
