Anton Harris ran for 255 yards and three touchdowns Saturday as host Bitburg clinched the Division II-North crown by coming from behind for a 22-21 victory over Wiesbaden.

Harris, operating behind an offensive line of Randall Pelletier, Terron Geter, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Waters and David Woodside, broke TD runs of 30 and 50 yards in the first half that answered Wiesbaden scores, then gained most of the 43 yards Bitburg drove in the fourth quarter for the decisive score.
