Lumpkin County (11-0) did exactly what it has done all season long – make history! The #5-ranked and undefeated Indians scored 21 first quarter points on the way to a 52–6 victory, their first playoff win in school history.

The Indians scored on all five of their first half drives, the final 3-play drive notwithstanding. It started with the opening drive, in which Lumpkin found the end zone by way of a Mason Sullens 15-yd TD. After the defense forced a quick 3-and-out, Lumpkin went right back to work. Cal Faulkner hit Luke Evans up the middle for a 46-yd touchdown to make it 14–0. Another quick stop was followed by a Faulkner 2-yd TD run for the 21–0 lead. On that drive, Sullens had a big run that made him the school’s single-season rushing leader in program history.

On the first play of the second quarter, Faulkner dialed long distance for Nolan Matthews on a 46-yd TD to make it 28–0. Gordon Lee finally put together a strong drive that spanned 7 minutes and got inside the 10-yard line, but they were turned away on downs. the Indians responded with a big TD drive when Faulkner scrambled for 36 yards to the end zone. It was 35–0 at the break. 

Sullens scored again on a 9-yd run midway through the third to push the advantage up to 42–0. Later in the quarter, Will Staples punched in a 37-yd field goal. With a running clock the rest of the way, Lumpkin County’s shutout was turned away with a pick-six by the Trojans. However, the extra point was blocked and Caleb Wendl got a 44-yd TD for the Indians in response, capping the scoring. Lumpkin is 11-0 and advance to its first-ever second round game.
