Ellisburg Triumphs Over Sun Valley State in Thrilling Lucky 13 Championship

In a dramatic finish where SVSU attempted an onside kick, the University of Ellisburg recovered and edged out Sun Valley State University (SVSU) 35-29 to capture the Lucky 13 Championship on their home field. It was a game for the ages, with both teams showcasing offensive firepower, but Ellisburg’s quarterback George Stevenson emerged as the hero of the night.

Ellisburg ran 447 yards of total offense, with Stevenson at the heart of the attack. The standout QB passed for 307 yards and delivered three touchdown passes, while also rushing for 125 yards and adding two more touchdowns on the ground. His dual-threat performance led Ellisburg to victory and earned him the highest honor of the college football season—the Heisman Trophy, awarded right after the game.

On the other side, SVSU gave a tremendous effort, amassing 486 yards of total offense. Their quarterback, Addison Biadasz, put on a passing clinic, throwing for 410 yards and four touchdowns. Biadasz found Heisman hopeful Lamont Walters eight times for 152 receiving yards, but despite their aerial success, they couldn’t overcome Stevenson and the Ellisburg offense.

The game was played at Ellisburg’s home stadium after they won a pivotal final regular-season matchup against SVSU, granting them home-field advantage. The championship showdown lived up to the hype, with both teams trading blows in a hard-fought contest.

Ultimately, it was George Stevenson’s remarkable performance that lifted Ellisburg to the championship and cemented his legacy with the Heisman Trophy, leading the university to its biggest win of the season.
