The Mason County Royals rallied from a 20-0 deficit and defeated the Morgan County Cougars 35-32 tonight on Homecoming.
It looked like Morgan County was going to go up by four scores early in the second quarter after a high punt snap gave the Cougars the ball on the Royals' 13 yard line. But on the ensuing play Jayden Riggs intercepted a pass in the end zone.
Mason County got on the scoreboard with 3:38 left in the second quarter on a 30-yard run by quarterback Carson Brammer.
After the teams traded turnovers in the opening four minutes of the third quarter (Colton Riggs with an interception for the Royals), Brammer scored on a one-yard run.
Morgan County answered with a 41-yard touchdown pass.
Brammer threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Jake Swolsky. Three plays later Cole Jones picked off a pass and the Royals took a 27-26 lead on a 13-yard touchdown pass from Brammer to Cody Jones.
Morgan County regained the lead with an 80-yard scoring drive.
Mason County answered with a 65-yard scoring drive capped off by a four-yard run by Seth Chambers with 3:02 to play. Brammer tossed a conversion pass to Jayden Riggs.
After back-to-back sacks by Jared Collins, Morgan County tried a double-reverse flea flicker on 3rd down and 22 from its own 31 yard line. The Cougars had a receiver behind the Royals' defense, but the pass was under thrown and was intercepted by Jayden Riggs with 51 seconds to play.
Mason County ran out the clock to even its record at 2-2.
"This is a huge win for us," Mason County coach Jonathan Thomas said.
Brammer completed 8-of-19 passes for 115 yards and two interceptions.
Chambers rushed for 150 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries.
Mason County has an open date next week before beginning district play at Scott on September 21.
