IMPERIAL — In a football game that took more than 48 hours to complete, it all came down to one play in overtime that was going to decide the winner. Calexico High School's defense rose to the occasion and stopped Palo Verde Valley's game-winning two-point conversion attempt in overtime, giving the Bulldogs a 14-13 nonleague win over the Yellowjackets at Shimamoto-Simpson Stadium in Imperial on Saturday, Aug. 20. 'We knew this was going to be a fight, and it all came down to one play,' said Diego Gurrola, Calexico's senior linebacker who was in on the game-winning tackle.
