Canton quarterback G.J. Kinne threw a touchdown pass to Houston Tuminello in the final minute to give the Eagles their game-winning points.

Both teams also combined to score seven touchdowns in the third-quarter.
Canton rallied from down 14, 15, and 16-points throughout the game.
Kinne threw for 432 yards and five touchdowns, and Tuminello finished with 202-yards receiving.
