BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. — Class AA No. 5 Fairmont Senior finally got over the hump and defeated three-time defending state champion No. 1 Bridgeport 22-21 in double overtime.

With the final possession in the second overtime, Fairmont Senior went for the two-point conversion and the win as Jake Abbott punched the ball in.

The semifinal playoff win propels the Polar Bears into the Super Six from Wheeling on Friday night of next week (December 2). Fairmont Senior will face either James Monroe or Mingo Central in the title game. It was Fairmont Senior’s first win over Bridgeport since 2006.
