CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Quarterback Jake Hogan scored on a 1-yard run with 1:13 left Thursday to give Gilbertville Don Bosco an 18-14 victory over Exira-EHK and the 8-player state championship. Hogan drove the Dons (14-0) 79 yards in 12 plays for the winning score after their potent offense had been stymied for much of the game.

Hogan then intercepted a pass with 9 seconds left to preserve the first state football title for a school long known for its wrestling program. Exira-EHK (12-1) took a 14-0 halftime lead on long scoring runs by Trey Sander and Drew Peppers.

But Hogan got his team rolling in the second half. He finished with 111 yards on 32 carries while adding 172 yards on 8 of 21 passing.
