Gannon Moore led the Sioux Falls Lincoln Patriots to a 27-20 win over Sioux Falls Washington in the South Dakota Class 11-AA championship game Saturday at the Dakota Dome in Vermillion. 

It was Lincoln's first state title.

The Patriots took a 13-0 lead on a pair of touchdowns by Moore. The first came on a 13-yard pass from Ryan Hander, and the second was a five-yard run that capped a 77-yard drive.

Washington took a 14-13 lead after Adam Heck returned an interception for a touchdown, and then, when Brett Grevlos threw a touchdown pass to Quintin McMartin.

But the Patriots took over in the fourth quarter. Moore took a handoff for a big gain, and then, as he was being pulled to the turf, lateralled to Brett Anderson, who took it the rest of the way for the go-ahead touchdown.

Then Moore iced it with an insurance rushing touchdown, making it 27-14.

Washington scored a touchdown late to cut the score to 27-20, but a last-second Hail Mary from Grevlos was intercepted by Anthony Muilenberg, and the Patriots celebrated the historic win.
