CAMBRIDGE - Patrick Oates only caught two passes for Cambridge on Friday, but they were big ones.
Oates hauled in two touchdown passes from quarterback Colin Blagus, one for 30 yards and the other for 88 in a fourth-quarter comeback en route to a 12-7 win over New Glarus-Monticello.
Neither team scored until the fourth, when Glarner Knights quarterback Ryan Bright connected with Cameron Jeglum on a 26-yard pass with 8:46 left. The extra point gave New Glarus a 7-0 lead.
But the Blagus to Oates connection first hooked up with 6:04 remaining. New Glarus still found itself ahead when the extra point was no good.
Blagus and Oates weren't done, however, connecting with 2:08 left for the winning margin.
Bright completed five of 12 passes for 151 yards. Jeglum caught three of those passes for 85 yards.
Mike Elzan led New Glarus on the ground with 11 carries for 57 yards.
New Glarus returns to action next Friday when they travel to Wisconsin Heights.
