The Lawrence County Bulldogs (6-2) traveled to Powell County (1-7) to take on the Pirates. The Pirates had only 1 win on the season and had lost two straight heading into the matchup with the Bulldogs.

Lawrence County would jump out early. Talan Pollock would connect with Carlo Chicko for a 54-yard touchdown pass to give the Bulldogs the early 6-0 lead. Pollock would then connect with Dalton Runyons for a 91-yard touchdown pass, and after a successful 2-point conversion, the Bulldogs led 14-0.
Pollock would find Chicko again in the 2nd quarter for a 17-yard pass, and after the successful 2-point conversion, the Bulldogs would lead 22-0. That would be the halftime score.
