Simon Kenton defeated Woodford County 43-34 to hand the Yellow Jackets their first loss of the season. This game had it all, eye-popping offensive numbers, some great individual performances, and of course controversial official calls. Late in the game Woodford County appeared to have scored a go ahead touchdown on a fumble and a 48 yard scoop-and-score on fourth down but it was ruled the whistle had blown before the play and Simon Kenton retained possession much to obvious displeasure of the Woodford County faithful. Simon Kenton then added an insurance touchdown late to ensure the victory. Woodford County was hampered by three costly turnovers tonight including a fumble at the Simon Kenton one and an interception in the end zone. Simon Kenton recorded 28 first downs and 527 yards of total offense. The Pioneers were penalized once for five yards and had a pass intercepted.
