Hillsboro 14-12-14- 0 = 40

Staunton 0 - 0 - 0 -0 = 0

Looking at the scoreboard, one would believe that the Bulldogs did not score at all. But that is not quite true. After Hillsboro scored their first TD, Jacob Dillon took the Hiltopper kickoff and ran it back 85 yards for a Bulldog TD. But then, the Bulldog nemesis this year, came into play and the whole thing was called back on a personal foul penalty. During Hillsboro's next possession, a personal foul called on Staunton gave Hillsboro a first down inside the 10-yard line and they scored on their next play.
