Worth County only needed 14 plays from scrimmage to get the win. Nine of their plays went for scores, and they had 355 yards of total offense. Stanberry was held to five yards. In 2018, Worth County, playing at Albany, only needed nine plays from scrimmage to get a halftime win over the Warriors.
Stanberry got the ball early and started at their own 27. Pax Schieber showed some promise as a kick returner, catching everything on the run and taking it back to put Stanberry in good field position. But Schieber was met by Ethan Lininger on the first play and Bo Collins and a blitzing Brayden Stevens on the next. Jude Archer broke up a third-down pass play and Stanberry was forced to punt. Cole Ruby was dropped on the first play, but then Brayden Stevens took it 56 yards to the house on the next with 9:39 left for Worth County's first score. Cole Ruby got blocks from Hayden Sanders and Lucas Frisch and added the extra points to make it 8-0. Worth County converted on all of its extra points.
The Bulldogs got their most promising drive going on the next series when Schieber ripped off gains of 9 and 6 yards to the Tiger 36. On third and seven at the 33, Schieber ripped off 14 more to the 19. But then the Tiger defense stiffened, with Ethan Lininger, Sawyer Thurman, and Lucas Frisch stopping him on the first play, Lininger stopping Max Hilton on the next, and Wyatt Hill breaking up a pass on third and long. On fourth down, quarterback Drew Parman rolled out and tried to dump it off to Schieber in the open field, but he was swarmed under at the 23 and Worth County took over on downs. A holding penalty by Worth County erased a long touchdown run, but that only made things more interesting. Cole Ruby burst into the open and took it 66 yards to the house with 4:23 left.
