Urbana football struggles to make forward progress against ferocious defense, falls to Blake

SILVER SPRING – Tanner Rupinta’s 7-yard pass to David Sossou with just under a minute left in regulation in Friday’s Class 4A/3A state football quarterfinal was the first play Urbana ran all night in the red zone. The Hawks, beset by penalties, miscues and a ferocious James Hubert Blake defense, struggled to move the ball until that possession, which wound up being their last.
