DARDANELLE -- Brayden Caudle expected to run a quarterback sneak as the final seconds ticked down and Charleston (1-0) was a yard away from the go-ahead score.
Tigers Coach Greg Kendrick had other ideas. He opted for a pass play, and Caudle hit Jaxson Furr in the end zone with 8 seconds left for a six-point victory at Keenan Field.
Caudle's fourth touchdown pass capped a 13-play, 79-yard drive that came after defensive lineman Dain Young intercepted Elyas Carter's screen-pass attempt with 2:14 seconds left.
Dardanelle (0-1) had taken a 23-21 lead when Temo Martinez booted a 42-yard field goal with 6:57 remaining.
