1. Estill County 48, Magoffin County 6

Chipper Hitchcock would add to that on a 32 yard touchdown run, making it 14-0 Engineers before Magoffin County would score. Dalton Keeton would get Magoffin on the scoreboard with a 31 yard touchdown run, making it 14-6 but that’s as close as the Hornets would get as the Engineers would put the foot down on the gas pedal.

 

Estill County would have a 71 yard touchdown run called back due to a penalty.

 

Magoffin County: 6-0-0-0 – 6

Estill County: (20)-(14)-7-7 – 48
