The Mason County Royals completed a 10-0 regular season, just the third in school history, by defeating the Greenup County Musketeers 34-29 at home tonight.
The game was not decided until Terrell Henry intercepted a Greenup County pass on the final play of the game. It was Henry's second pick of the night.
Henry's first interception was followed by a 16-yard touchdown pass from Keshaun Thomas to Isaac Marshall that gave the Royals a 34-14 lead with 10:29 to play in the fourth quarter.
Greenup County answered with back-to-back touchdowns and it was a one score game with a 1:22 remaining. After going three-and-out, the Royals punted with 19 seconds to go. Two plays later, Henry picked off a pass over the middle as time expired.
Mason County got off to a fast start by recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff return. Then, on the Royals' first snap, they surprised the Musketeers with a trick play--wide receiver KG Walton hit a wide open Henry on an option pass for a touchdown 17 seconds into the game.
Thomas scored on a one-yard run to put the Royals up 14-0 in the first quarter.
Two Mason County turnovers led to two Greenup County touchdowns and the score was tied.
Brady Sanders rushed 16 yards for a touchdown to put the Royals back on top with 38 seconds to play in the first half.
Thomas ran 70 yards for a touchdown on Mason County's first drive of the second half.
Mason County will host Rockcastle County in the first round of the playoffs next Friday.
