Extra points were the difference Friday for Zion Christian, as the Eagles came up short on three conversion tries in a 32-26 loss to visiting Collinwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After giving up a touchdown on the opening kickoff and an ensuing two-point try, the hosts evened the count on the first of four Luke Perko TD tosses \u2013 this one to Davis Duffy \u2013 and a two-point Perko pass to Duffy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a chance to tie the game again following a Collinwood second-quarter score, Perko connected with Sam Sullivan for a 48-yard score but the two-point attempt was unsuccessful and the Eagles trailed 16-14 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perko\u2019s third-quarter touchdown pass to Sam Duffy gave his team a 20-16 lead, but Collinwood answered with a pair of fourth-quarter scores to regain the advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulling within six on Max Brown\u2019s 48-yard reception with 5:42 to play, Zion opted to kick the extra point \u2013 but that was unsuccessful as well, leaving the deficit at six points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As time expired, the Eagles had driven inside the Collinwood 10-yard line, but a pass play on an untimed down after an interference call was broken up to end the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perko threw for 215 yards along with the four touchdowns in the loss, while rushing for another 91 on 20 carries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zion (3-3), which had a three-game winning streak stopped with the defeat, meets visiting Richland on Oct. 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
