Clutch Kick Ends Thriller | Birmingham News

McGill-Toolen pulled off a heart-stopping 20-17 win over St. Michael in a game that came down to the final seconds—thanks to a clutch 32-yard field goal by rookie kicker Ollie Poiroux, who focused only on the uprights as his teammates roared him on. Down 10-0 at halftime and trailing again late in the fourth, McGill-Toolen methodically drove the ball, setting up the game-winner. St. Michael, fighting valiantly without their starting QB, tied it with a field goal but couldn’t recover. Kevin Daughtry and Seth Demouey powered the offense for McGill-Toolen, while Nygel Mitchell carried St. Michael’s charge. Both offensive lines dominated, creating holes and momentum. The win extends McGill-Toolen’s home streak to five games, while St. Michael heads into a brutal road stretch. A gritty, hard-fought battle—exactly what both coaches expected.
