Play of the game: 2nd play after Scott intercepted a pass with all the momentum, Jesse Holden forced and Keller Grueber recovered the fumble for the turnover with 4:51 left. That allowed the Chargers to melt the rest of the clock. @DPASports

FINAL: McMinn Central 22, Scott 17. Some ... stuff went against the Chargers late, but they find a way to hold on for the big Region 2-3A win and stay in the thick of the playoff hunt. Central steps out of region at Cumberland County next week. @DPASports

A Central coach got flagged for unsportsmanlike for not picking up the ball, I think it was? That's new. And it kept alive a Scott drive that ended in a 22-yard touchdown pass and makes it tense again. McMinn Central 22, Scott 17. 5:40 left. @DPASports

This touchdown pass of 11 yards from Bryce Mullins to William Mayfield restores a two-score lead for the Chargers with 6:47 left! A Scott offside on the PAT inspires Central to go for 2, and Mullins finds Jesse Holden for it. McMinn Central 22, Scott 10. @DPASports

Touchdown Highlanders on a 3-yard run. They had a 35 yard pass on 3rd and 21 to keep the drive alive. Tense final 9:21 coming as McMinn Central clings to a 14-10 lead at Scott. @DPASports

End 3: McMinn Central 14, Scott 3. Highlanders with 2nd and 13 at their 32 to start the 4th. @DPASports

Bryce Mullins to Mez Moss 57 yards and the Chargers touchdown on the opening drive of the second half! McMinn Central 14, Scott 3. 8:38 3Q. @DPASports

FINAL: McMinn County 40, Soddy-Daisy 0. Cherokees with their second straight Region 3-5A win, and they return home next week for another critical region game vs. Ooltewah. @DPASports

Last I saw over an hour ago McMinn County was up 21-0 at the half at Soddy-Daisy. @DPASports

Halftime: McMinn Central 7, Scott 3. The Chargers will receive the second-half kickoff. @DPASports

There's the explosive the Chargers were looking for! Aadonis Lamb shakes his defender after a swing pass from Bryce Mullins and races 58 yards for the touchdown. McMinn Central 7, Scott 3. 5:16 2Q. @DPASports

End 1: Scott 3, McMinn Central 0. Chargers 3rd and 9 at the Scott 39 to start the 2nd quarter. @DPASports

Scott scores first on a 22-yard fiels goal. Freshman corner Morgan Bartel had a great pass deflection in the end zone om third down for the stop. Scott 3, McMinn Central 0. 1:22 1Q. @DPASports

Central wins toss, defers. Scott to receive the opening kick. @DPASports

McMinn Central is warming up now, and looks like we're actually gonna kick off at around 8:35. @DPASports

Update: Kickoff of McMinn Central at Scott is now 8:45. The rain has stopped now, so hopefully this is it. @DPASports
