The Bridgewater-Raritan High School Panthers varsity football team defeated Hillsborough, 21-20, Friday, after scoring a final touchdown and kick in the fourth quarter.

The evening's extra game-winning point was scored by Panthers kicker Anthony Balliro, after Michael Pennella scored the final touchdown for the team.

According to an article on My Central Jersey, Bridgewater-Raritan was losing, 13-0, at the half, but managed to get on the board in the third quarter. The score was tied in the fourth quarter, the article said, until Balliro made the final kick with just over three minutes left on the clock.

The team is now 2-1 on the season, and will play Franklin at Franklin High School Sept. 29 at 1 p.m.
