In the fourth quarter, Munjas gave Waterford the lead on a nine yard scoring run. The two point conversion attempt failed to make it 14-8.
South Gallia was able to answer on the ensuing possession courtesy of a 40 yard touchdown run by Spurlock. The Rebels' two point attempt also failed to tie the game at 14-14.
In overtime, after Waterford failed to score, South Gallia hit paydirt on a 16 strike from Spurlock to Landon Hutchinson to end the game.
