Visiting American Collegiate scored a touchdown with 39 seconds remaining, but Bradford’s Trent Hankerson broke up the pass play on the two-point conversion that would’ve tied it up, allowing the Tornadoes to head into their bye week off a 14-12 victory tonight.

Tez Williams, who had to step in at quarterback after an injury to Amari Jones, threw two touchdown passes to Chalil Cummings as Bradford improved to 3-3.
