Summary:
       The Deshler Tigers claimed their second straight 4A state championship is fashion with a 43-20 romp over outmanned Jemison. The Tigers rolled up 523 yards of total offense, had no turnovers and never punted in the game. Game MVP running back Earnest Byrd ran for 191 yards on 21 carries and scored a touchdown to lead the way for the Tigers.

Jemison was able to cut the lead to 22-20 halfway through the third quarter on a halfback pass covering 10 yards from Nunn to Steven Atchison but the Jemison defense could not hold and it was all Deshler from that point forward.
