Case Cookus was able to spearhead a ferocious comeback for Philadelphia despite being down 20-9 at the break.
In the 3rd quarter, he threw Jordan Suell his second touchdown pass, which brought the score to within 5 points. Cookus threw a touchdown pass to Devin Gray on their first drive of the fourth quarter. Suell would convert for two points, giving the Stars a 26-23 lead.
Cookus, on the other hand, would break his leg and have to be taken off the field. K.J. Costello, the backup quarterback, came in late in the game and led the team to a score, but it wasn’t enough to get Philadelphia to the championship.
It was Birmingham’s night in the end.
