Tenaha scored first with a 2-yard rush by Quentin Goodson within the first 5 minutes of play time. Union Grove came back and made a 13-yard touchdown from Hudson Wightman, with a failed extra point field goal attempt; Tigers led by 1. With 3:32 left to play in the second quarter, QB Clayton Creech hit Jacobe Calloway for an 82-yard touchdown pass giving the Tigers a 14-6 lead halfway through the second quarter.
Union Grove recovered a fumble at the 35-yard line. The Lions pushed the ball down the field for a touchdown with 34 seconds to spare in the half; Tigers led 14-12 after Ciro Sandoval stopped the two-point conversion at the one-inch line. Even with several good passes and a 17-yard rushing gain from Clayton Creech, Tenaha was not able to make one more touchdown before the end of the half.
After an onside kick, Union Grove starts the second half of the game at the Tenaha 40-yard line. A 24-yard pickup for Wightman and a 4th down conversion helped Union Grove score another touchdown plus a two-point conversion, giving them their first lead of the game, 20-14 with 7:49 of play in the third quarter. The Tigers took over at their 43-yard line on their first drive in the second half. Jacobe Calloway had a nice 20-yard pick up to put the Tigers at the 40-yard line but a pass intended for Creech was intercepted by Union Grove. Wightman, on the pick, went in for the 85-yard interception return. Union Grove went up 26-14 with 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. The Tigers roared back by making their way down the field and Bubba Norris on a 7-yard carry for the touchdown; with 1:29 left in the 3rd quarter, Tenaha trailed 26-21.
There was a 15-yard penalty against the Lions, so Sandoval punted for the Tigers at their own 45-yard line. The ball bounced out of the hands of a Union Grove receiver and into the hands of Sandoval; Tenaha was 1st and 10 at the 43-yard line. Bubba Norris put the Tigers back on top with a 43-yard touchdown run. The Tigers retook the lead 28-26 at the end of the 3rd quarter.
Union Grove started the 4th quarter with a 58-yard touchdown run by Wightman to put the Lions back on top 32-28 after another failed two-point conversion; 11:46 left in the game. Tenaha’s Calloway received the punt at the 20-yard line for a 76-yard return. With a 4-yard touchdown run, Clayton Creech put the Tigers back up 35-32 with a 10:58 remaining. Starting their next drive mid-field, Union Grove had a 29-yard gain by DJ Edwards, putting them at the 16-yard line. Wightman had no trouble finding the end zone for another touchdown. The two-point conversion gave the Lions a 40-35 lead.
Back-to-back holding penalties against Tenaha slowed them down from scoring again, but the Tiger defensive live held off Union Grove. The 40-35 win against Tenaha puts Union Grove 4-0 this season.

C'Najai Henderson rushed the ball in to put the Bears on top 6-0 after a failed extra point kick.

Bryant had no difficulty finding his brother, Kaden Bryantm for a 31-yard touchdown pass. The Bears managed to block the extra-point attempt, tying the game 6-6 with under 7 minutes remaining in the first quarter. The Bears quickly made it back down the field after rushing gains from Alex Castillo and Jamichael Page. Another offsides penalty against them pushed them back for a first and fifteen, but that did not stop Henderson from rushing for a Timpson Touchdown, now giving the Bears a 13-6 lead.
It was a slow start in the 2nd quarter for both teams, but the action picked up when Luke Fields broke through the defensive line for a 36-yard rushing touchdown; Bears ahead 20-6 with less than 5 minutes left in the first half. Palestine Westwood retaliated by making serious rushing gains as the first half clock dwindled. Major gaps in Timpson’s defensive line allowed Kavian Bryant to run down the field in 5 plays before passing 25-yards to Kaden Bryant for the Panther’s second touchdown of the game. The Bears did not find an opportunity to score on the next drive, but starting at their own 15-yard line, the Panthers hit an 82-yard pass play for a touchdown, closing the gap 20-13.
Catching the punt at the 17-yard line, Timpson’s Albert Parker ran down the field for an 83-yard touchdown. Timpson led 27-19 with 1:35 left in the half. The Panthers still found time to rush down the field for one last touchdown and two-point conversion to tie the game 27-27 at the half.
On their first drive of the 2nd half, the Panthers’ Brown broke through Timpson’s defense for a 60-yard carry. The Panthers scored and made a two-point conversion, taking the lead 35-27 after 4 minutes of play. Once again, Westwood Palestine broke through Timpson’s D-Line to make it down the field for another touchdown, increasing their lead to 41-27 halfway through the 3rd quarter. On their next drive, Timpson could not take advantage of the 3 penalties against the Panthers on their punts, giving them great field position at Westwood’s 38-yard line. After a turnover, Westwood started at their own 41-yard line and the Bryant brothers teamed up again for another touchdown. The two-point conversion was no good; Westwood expanded their lead 42-27 with 3 minutes left in the quarter.
Westwood Palestine recovered the punt at Timpson’s 45-yard line, which led to a 45-yard touchdown run after Brown broke through 10 defensive linemen. This time, the two-point conversion was successful, Westwood leading 55-27 after 30 seconds of play. On the opening drive of the fourth quarter, Timpson’s Alex Castillo caught a 13-yard pass for a touchdown; the two-point conversion was good, for a 55-35 score.

It was a slow start for the Shelbyville Dragons. Corrigan-Camden elected to receive, starting on their own 38-yard line. Dragon defense had big hits on the first drive of the game pushing the Bulldogs back for loss of yardage. Shelbyville running back Ronnie Williams had back-to-back 1st downs, but at 4th-and-5, QB Gavin McDonald was unable to connect with Hunter Harvey, putting the Bulldogs at midfield with 7:08 left in the first quarter. The Bulldogs took advantage of a hole in the defensive line for a 25-yard rushing gain. Offense could not get the ball into the end zone, but Hinojosa put Corrigan-Camden on the scoreboard first after a successful field goal attempt; Bulldogs lead 3-0.
Bulldog defense used that momentum for a quick defensive stop; Keil’s punt put Corrigan-Camden at their own 48-yard line with 4:15 remaining in the opening quarter. Again, the Corrigan-Camden offense got close, but not close enough to score. Their field-goal attempt was no-good, keeping the lead 3-0. The Dragons offense finally started warming up, Ronnie Williams III ran the ball through the end of the first quarter; beginning the 2nd quarter at 2nd and 2, McDonald threw to Bryan Scarborough for a 51-yard touchdown; now leading 7-3.
A huge interception by Hunter Harvey at 3rd and 7 for the Bulldogs, bringing it back to midfield for the Dragons with 10:17 to go in the first half. After a penalty flag pushed them back to 3rd and 15, McDonald found Jared’s Hargrove at the 28-yard line for a big pass play. Hargrove later scored the Dragon’s second touchdown and Edwin Vazquez’s kick was good for the extra point, Dragons lead 14-3. On the Dragon’s following drive, Ji Polley ran the ball up to the 10 yard line, making it an easy running touchdown for McDonald, Dragons leading 21-3 with 3:00 minutes left in the 1st half. In their last drive of the quarter, the Dragons took advantage of a pass-interference penalty and Ronnie Williams ran a 19-yard touchdown, giving the Dragons a 28-3 lead at the half.

With 2:50 left in the third, Shelbyville was unable to get a fourth-down conversion; an unsportsmanlike conduct flag against them gave the Bulldogs a first down at their own 35-yard line. Corrigan-Camden ran a 65-yard touchdown, but a flag on the play brought them back to the 46-yard line. The Bulldogs still found a way to score their first touchdown, but the extra point kick was no good; Bulldogs trailing 35-9.
At the Bulldog’s 30-yard line, the Dragons had a holding call against them plus a fumble turnover; 10:55 remaining in the game. As the clock rolled, the Bulldogs inched down the field, but Hunter Harvey had his 2nd interception of the night at the 25-yard line.
