High School Football: Bishop’s loses wild one to University City; La Jolla gets roughed up by Point Loma

With 1:40 to play, University City trailed The Bishop’s School of La Jolla for the first time in the game Sept. 23.

Bishop’s (3-2) had one last gasp, but a bad snap on the game’s final play doomed a 46-yard field goal try to tie it.

University City (3-2) blew a 21-0 first-quarter lead and Bishop’s took its first lead of the night on a 1-yard run by quarterback William Fierro with 1:40 left.
