Summary:
            The two teams traded first quarter touchdowns before the defenses took over. Neither team could find the end zone until Demarcus Warren scored on a one yard run in the fourth quarter.
            The Indians scored again just three minutes later on a Howard Davis 32 yard pass from quarterback Tiran King to take a 19-7 lead with just 6:19 remaining in the game. It seemed the Indians were in control but UMS-Wright mounted a furious fourth quarter comeback by scoring 12 points to tie the game 19-19 in regulation.
            Quarterback Tiran King scored on a one yard run to seal the win for the Indians and clinch their sixth state championship and third in the last five years. Demarcus Warren rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown while Ronnie Ricks added 77 yards on 15 carries for Colbert County.
