Joe Riddick and C.T. Harry each returned an interception for a touchdown as Nansemond-Suffolk downed host Greenbrier Christian 14-0 to clinch second place in the TCIS Thursday in the season finale for both football teams.
Riddick's return, a 45-yarder, came with 17 seconds left in the first half for the Saints (3-7, 3-1). Harry's interception return was for 24 yards and came with 50 seconds left in the game. Harry also made a fourth-quarter interception in his own end zone to thwart the Gators' best scoring opportunity.
