With the ball on the Panthers 43, the Little Mingoes went to the air when quarterback Jaden King found Zack Smith for the hook up and the 14-0 lead.

Defensively, the LittleMingoes got on the scoreboard when King stripped the ball from a Panther player and scored on a 50-yard run.

In the third quarter, Lewistown got on the board on 43-yard run by Kyle Grant TD, cutting it to 27-6.

The Little Mingoes battled right back, scoring on its next offensive possession.
