Stephenson forced a fourth and five at their 17 and Mundy’s Mill went to kicker Luis Rivas who hit a 34-yarder to make it a 17-3 score with just 54 seconds to play.

The Jaguars needed just one play following the kickoff as Donovan Moorer followed blocker Covenant Dugbor around the right end and raced 67 yards into the end zone with 33 seconds remaining in the first half. Allen’s kick made it 24-3 heading into the half.

Stephenson opened the second half with a touchdown drive capped by Ingram’s second touchdown of the game, this one a five-yard run, to up the lead to 31-3 with 8:00 left in the third quarter. Allen converted his fourth PAT.

Jackson capped the night for Stephenson by hitting Deshon Stoudemire on an 11-yard scoring toss with 1:49 left in the third quarter. A fifth PAT by Allen made the final of 38-3.
