- Opelika goes three-and-out for the second straight series and once again punts it right back to Thompson.
- FIELD GOAL THOMPSON. Warriors get into Opelika territory again but end up settling for another field goal. Ethan Black gets his second field goal, this from 35 yards out. (Thompson, 6-0 | 5:10, 1st)
