Blaze RB Justin Nixon scored the go-ahead TD and led
Bitterroot's ball control strategy that kept the Phoenix
offense off the field much of the second half.

The Phoenix kept the pressure on the Blaze defense until
the final gun. Here WR Tyler Boaz narrowly misses a
pass deep in Blaze territory as time was winding down.
