Royals win 20-6 on a long opening night

Jeremy Thompson rushed for 176 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Mason County Royals to a 20-6 season-opening win over the Paris Greyhounds Friday night. There was a one hour and 20 minute lightning delay in the second quarter. On the sixth play after the game resumed, Paris took a 6-0 lead on a 32 yard run by Tiion Thomas. Mason County answered with a one yard run by Neal Pawsat. Paris was moving the ball in Mason County territory when Ryan Foley intercepted a pass near the five yard line. Thompson scored his two touchdowns in the second half. The Royals failed to score on two red zone drives, one in each half. Mason County plays at Boone County next week. Here is the scoring summary:
