After some final halftime adjustments, Leroy scored again with 8:10 left in the third quarter when Michael Bracey hit a 5-yard touchdown run. With the previous extra point was missed, Coach Powell elected to go for the two-point conversion, which was successful as Moseley found Aerick Davis in the back corner of the end zone to make the score 21-0. On the ensuing possession for Keith, Tyler Faith would recover a fumble for Leroy. That would be followed by a 1- yard touchdown run by Powell with 2:29 left in the third quarter to give Leroy a 27-0 lead. The Gartman extra point was blocked by the Keith defensive line.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, Moseley found Aerick Davis for a 47-yard touchdown strike.
