Quarterback Trey O’Neil threw four touchdown passes in the first half, two to both Brayden Strine and Chris Pounds. Strine’s scoring catches were from 75 and 20, while Pounds were from 37 and 65. Brett Meyer came in and tossed a five-yard pass to Pounds for his third catching score of the night. Rounding out the scoring for Scott City was a 17-yard rush from Martin Gough. Freshman Tre Stewart converted four of six point after attempts.

Abilene’s scores came on one play drives in the fourth quarter. Chase Stadler found Dalton Goodwin down the right sideline, and backup quarterback Harley Hazlett scored on an 84-yard run. Keil Kelly was one for two on extra point kicks.
