PLYMOUTH — Plymouth earned a share of the Northern Lakes Conference title on Friday as the Rockies beat NorthWood 38-21 thanks in part to 403 yards rushing.

Northwood quarterback Will Kirkland threw three touchdown passes to Nate Graber, including a 45-yarder midway through the fourth quarter to cut Plymouth’s lead to 24-21. But the Rockies then recovered an onside kick and scored on a 1-yard run by Sam Stevens before Jacob Frantz clinched the win with a 20-yard interception return for a touchdown.
