Both defenses were strong the rest of the way. Fleming County forced a Mason County fumble on the Royals' next to last drive with 2:06 to play. The Panthers went three and out, but a 48-yard punt pinned the Royals at their own 10-yard line. With less than a minute to play and no timeouts remaining, Mason County drove to the Fleming County 42 yard line, but the Panthers came up with an interception on the final play of the game.
