INDIANAPOLIS (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Bishop Luers made a defensive stand at its own goal line with 6:32 left and then ran out the clock for a 24-17 victory over Monrovia in the 2A state championship game Friday night.

uers’ Jordan Presley and Steve Kiermaier stuffed Monrovia’s Garrett Johnson inside the one yard line on fourth and goal from the one.

Luers then converted a pair of crucial third down plays, including a 29 yard pass from James Knapke to Kameron Mack on third and six from its own 38.

It was the eighth state championship for Luers, and its fourth this decade, with seven of the titles won under coach Matt Lindsay, who is the third coach in state history with at least seven state championships.

And the win was the 200th of Lindsay's career.

Kenny Mullen scored on runs of three and two yards, with the second coming 17 seconds before halftime and cut the Monrovia lead to 17-14.

Luers’ Alex Stronzcek nailed a 44-yard field goal to tie it in the third quarter, and then Steve Kiermaier scored the go-ahead touchdown from two yards out with 20 seconds left in the quarter.
