LAKE CITY — Choctaw's Cinderella run has come to a heartbreaking end.

Forget what you heard. What you think. What the rankings told you.

Earlier in the season, Choctaw quashed a critical two-point conversion to defeat Crestview 35-34. Come Friday night, the Big Green facing a 28-27 deficit in double overtime, Frank Beasley rolled the dice and Cole Tabb's run was stuffed up the middle to cap the 28-27 loss.

No one needed a win more than Choctaw. Against a rival is just icing on the cake.
