That gave the Trojans team a chance to come back and win the game, but Tri-County North stuck it out and maintained the lead as the Panthers score another touchdown before the end of the second quarter.

Tri-County North dominated the field from that point on and continued making scores. By the end of the third quarter the score was 28-6.
