The point after was no good. Webster Groves was able to snatch momentum after a big defensive play.

The Statesmen put up 16 unanswered points to close out the first half, making the score 16-6. In the third quarter, Farmington’s defense intercepted a pass from Webster Groves quarterback Will Travers, which shifted the momentum to their side. The Knights would score a field goal and score again to make things interesting.

The point after made it 16 all. The game would end up going to overtime following a Webster Grover three-and-out and a Farmington turnover on downs. The Statesmen got the ball first in OT.
