Mason County defeats Greenup County 27-14 for a school record 13th win and a trip to the state semifinals

The undefeated Mason County Royals are headed to the state semifinals with a school-record 13 wins after beating the Greenup County Musketeers 27-14 Friday night at home in the third round of the Class AAA playoffs. 

The Royals outscored the Musketeers 20-0 in the second half for the third region championship in program history and the first since 2003.

Keyshaun Thomas threw two touchdown passes to KG Walton and one to Isaac Marshall. 

Caden Clark-Roberts rushed 27 yards for a touchdown.

Terrell Henry had three huge defensive plays in the second half: two interceptions and a tackle that stopped Greenup County on 4th-and-one at the Royals' 11 yard line. His second pick was in the end zone with 2:24 left in the game. Mason County was then able to run out the clock.

The Royals will play the Bardstown Tigers in Bardstown next week. The Tigers, also 13-0, defeated Union County 66-33 Friday night.

Christian Academy-Louisville will host Ashland in the other semifinal game.
