Mason County's defense forced Montgomery County to throw an incomplete pass as time expired and the Royals won their home opener 23-20 last night.
There were four lead changes in the game. The Royals led 13-0 on two short touchdown runs by senior tailback Chase Crawford. Montgomery County went in front 14-13 late in the second quarter after Jamil Owens scored two touchdowns in a span of 17 seconds. He scored on a 28 yard pass from Kaleb Curtis, and then on Mason County's next play, Owens returned an interception 47 yards for a touchdown. Omar Lazalde kicked a 22 yard field goal to put Mason County back on top 16-14. Montgomery County answered with a one yard touchdown run by Jarrod Nester. The Royals took the lead for good on a five yard touchdown pass from Richie Cox to Nathan Stahl on 4th and goal with 3:27 left in the game. Montgomery County drove to the Mason County five yard line with three seconds remaining. The Indians appeared ready to try a field goal, but after Mason County took a timeout, Montgomery County went for the win.
Curtis' pass under pressure fell incomplete and Mason County had its first win of the season. The Royals play at Fleming County Friday night.
