Royals shutout Fleming County 8-0 for district championship

The Mason County Royals snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Fleming County Panthers and won their first district championship since 2013 with an 8-0 victory tonight at Panther Field in Flemingsburg.

Trey Walker ran six yards for a touchdown and Ashton Adams rushed for the two-point conversion with 6:32 to play in the first quarter.

The Royals (9-3) had chances to blow open the game but missed two field goals and lost a fumble on second and goal from the one-yard line. 

The one score was enough as Mason County recorded its third shutout of the season.

The Royals will play the East Carter Raiders in the third round of the Class AAA playoffs next week in Grayson. East Carter defeated defending state champion Ashland 26-16 tonight.
