Jarvis Phillips made his first start as Carter's quarterback a memorable one.

With no time left on the clock, Phillips dove for the pylon and scored to give Carter a 13-12 victory over rival Kimball.

It marked the sixth straight win for Carter in the series that has come to be known as the Oak Cliff Super Bowl. After Phillips scored, Carter players erupted in jubilation while Kimball players collapsed in agony on the Kincaide Stadium turf.

For Phillips, it was an emotional moment for other reasons. His father, Tim, died of cancer in April.

"This is the first game he hasn't been to," said Phillips, a junior. "I'm just happy we won."

On the play before Phillips became the game's hero, he nearly became the scapegoat. Carter snapped the ball with 32 seconds left and Phillips rolled left, looking for a receiver. He held onto the ball too long and was tackled inbounds.

However, Carter was able to line up and get off another play from the Kimball 10 just before time expired. This time Phillips ran right and found an open field to the goal line. He dove to the pylon as Kimball's defense converged on him.

"I knew when I was at the five," Phillips said. "I had to score."

Phillips, who gained 51 yards on 15 carries, took command on Carter's final drive. He ran the ball on five of the nine plays and drew a key facemask penalty against Kimball that put Carter in scoring range.

"He just put us on his shoulders and made some things happen," Carter coach Allen Wilson said.

Kimball appeared to be in control when it scored on its final drive. Quarterback Tashaun Gipson picked up a skipped shotgun snap and sprinted 14 yards for a touchdown with 2:02 remaining.

An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty pushed Kimball's point-after try to the 18-yard line. Joshua Gardner's pass fell incomplete, and Kimball settled for a 12-7 lead.

Kimball dominated on the game's opening drive by covering 66 yards in 13 plays and six minutes. The drive was capped by a 2-yard touchdown run by Gipson but the extra point attempt was blocked

Carter was just as dominant on the opening drive of the second half. Carter covered 70 yards in eight plays with Anthony Miller scoring from 9 yards out. That cut Kimball's lead to 7-6 with 8:07 left in the third quarter.
