Shaine Eck intercepted a pass, but turned the ball back to North Knox on a fumble at the Warriors 39. Helped by a 15-yard penalty and some good runs, the Warriors moved the ball down to the PC 25. A third down pass for eight yards was five yards shy of a first down as they were ham- pered by a 5-yard penalty of their own. On fourth and five, Mundy was smothered after a 2-yard gain and gave up the ball at the PC 23. Pike Central gained one first down and was able to run out the clock leading 6-0 at halftime.
