With the game on the line, Jacob Kucish delivered again for North Marion.
Fairmont Senior dialed up a halfback option with Elijah Holmes looking deep downfield, but Kucish read the play and came away with the interception to seal North Marion’s dramatic 29-25 victory over the Polar Bears.
The takeaway completed a historic night for the Huskies, who defeated Fairmont Senior for the first time since 2003 and ended a 23-game losing streak in the rivalry.
And it marked the second consecutive week Kucish came up with a late interception to secure a North Marion victory after doing the same against Philip Barbour.
