Chas Stallard made sure Cleveland's season continues for at least another week.
The senior quarterback scored on a 6-yard run with 33 seconds remaining to give the Class 4A No. 8 Tigers a 26-21 comeback win over No. 9 Broken Bow in an opening-round playoff contest Friday night in Cleveland.
The Tigers (9-2) will travel to No. 5 Ada to play the unbeaten Cougars (11-0) in a quarterfinal matchup next Friday. Ada defeated Woodward 47-22 on Friday.
Broken Bow (7-4) had taken a 21-20 lead on Jaylon Watson's 17-yard touchdown run with 3:36 left to play.
Chase McWhirt returned the ensuing kickoff 50 yards to the Broken Bow 27-yard line. The Tigers' possession received new life when a pass interference call on Broken Bow wiped out a fourth-down incomplete pass by Stallard and gave the Tigers a first down at the Savages' 13 with 1:11 to play. Stallard scored the winning touchdown 38 seconds later to cap a wild fourth quarter.
Broken Bow tied the game at 14-all with 10:45 to play on Jerry Crudup's 9-yard touchdown run. Cleveland immediately responded. McWhirt had a 38-yard reception from Stallard to the Savages' 1 to set up Dakota Hewitt's go-ahead touchdown to give Cleveland a 20-14 lead with 9:13 left.
Stallard had a pair of touchdown passes to Tyler Jones (1 and 24 yards) earlier in the game.
