Rummel place-kicker Patrick Vanderbrook was not perfect Friday night, but he sure was when it counted.

With nine seconds remaining in Friday night’s nondistrict game against Riverside Academy and the score tied at 34, Vanderbrook kicked a 45-yard field goal to give Rummel a 37-34 victory in a game that looked to be on its way to a rout but turned into a nail-biter.
