The two before mentioned big plays from Parker came on a first half kick return for a score as well as a big run from scrimmage. Parker finished with 134 yards on just nine touches, but left the game early due to injury.
Zane Trace started the game with a 13-play drive that ended with a Kirk Maxwell to Haynes touchdown. Piketon answered with a 10-play drive of their own giving a the ZT defense a large dose of Tyler Tackett - who finished the drive with a two yard TD run.
Then the defenses settled in and took the game over for the most part. The only other points scored before Piketon's late TD came at the end of the first half. Maxwell and the Pioneers marched down the field in the two-minute drill, and after a flag that was originally thrown for intentional grounding was picked up, Maxwell took advantage hitting Haynes for an 8-yard score with just eight ticks on the clock. The Pioneers took a 14-7 advantage into the half.
On the night, Maxwell ran 22 times for 64 yards and he threw for another 122 yards and two touchdowns. Haynes, who caught both scores, caught a total of seven balls for 73 yards. Ben Jones was held to 29 yards on 13 carries, but Chris Finley provided 29 yards on just six carries. Jones did record 12 tackles on defense as did Dallas Cochenour.
In the loss, Tyler Tackett ran 23 times for 111 yards and a score. Quarterback Jordan Miller rushed 12 times for 60 yards and he also threw that late TD.
