Game Brief: KP Football Can't Catch Up to Mansfield
Mansfield wins a tight one against KP, 27-26.

KP scored a touchdown on a one-yard run with 44 seconds left in the game to pull within one point. Coach Brian Lee decided to go for the two-point conversion and the win, but Quarterback John Dillon's pass attempt fell incomplete.
