Austin Phillips ran for the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter as the South Gallia Rebels beat the Green Bobcats 12-8 Friday in a non-league game.

Phillips’ touchdown came with 9:27 to play and helped erase and early 8-0 Green lead.

The Bobcats (2-4) took the lead on a 7-yard run by Billy Moore with 4:47 left in the first quarter.

A safety two minutes later extended Green’s lead to 8-0.

Green appeared to be heading into the locker room with that lead, but Bryce Clary got loose and ran 97 yards for a touchdown with just 1:37 left in the half.

The Bobcats had 116 total yards, all on the ground. South Gallia ran for 179 yards with Clary getting 128 on 15 attempts.
