Lexington Catholic scored 17 points in a 3:36 period of time in the third quarter to break open a close game on their way to a 38-7 victory over Scott County. Scott County trailed 14-7 at halftime but began to unravel early in the third quarter. They received the opening kickoff to start the second half but fumbled four plays later and Lexington Catholic's Nick Vicini recovered and returned it to the Scott County 22 yard line. Devon Williams scored on a one yard run to make the score 21-7.
Scott County fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Lexington Catholic recovered at the Scott County 22. Lane Pumphrey kicked a 36 yard field goal to make the score 24-7. The next series added to Scott County's frustration as an apparent 80 yard TD pass from WR Eric Sanders to Anthony Sandoval was nullified as it was ruled an illegal forward pass because the exchange from QB Brandon Lawson to Sanders was also ruled a forward pass. Lexington Catholic blocked the ensuing punt and recovered at the Scott County 2 yard line. Devon Williams scored from one yard out to give the Knights a 31-7 lead with 4:19 remaining in the third quarter.
