Sandy Creek 20, Carrollton 10
How the game was won: Carrollton scored the only points of the first quarter with a 22-yard Mitch McLendon field goal and held a 3-0 lead until Sandy Creek got on the board midway through the second quarter on a 1-yard Jaelon Greene dive. Sandy Creek quarterback Bryant Walker found Kaleb Slaughter for a 52-yard touchdown to open the second half (missed PAT), but Carrollton's Keegan Hill returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown to make it a 13-10 ball game. Greene pushed the lead to 20-10 with 8:39 left on a 17 yard touchdown but Carrollton made it interesting. The Trojans drove all the way to the Sandy Creek 9-yard line but missed the field goal that would have made it a one-possession game.
