The Helias Crusaders knew they'd have to play a near-perfect 32 minutes to beat the Fayetteville (Ark.) Bulldogs on Friday night.

They got the "near" part right, but 29 minutes just wasn't good enough.

The Bulldogs used a strong finishing kick in the final three minutes to rally for a 44-38 win in the third-place game of the Mike Kehoe Great 8 Classic.
