The Klein Oak kickoff was short giving the Bearkats the ball at the 35yard line.  The Klein team was not able to move the ball and had to punt on 4^th down.  #7 Abron received the punt and returned to the KO 45.  On 1^st down, Stover threw to Starr who ran down the right side to the KHS 25.  After 2 incomplete passes, Stover hit Abron for a 1^st down at the 15.  A Stover pass to Starr moved the ball to the 5-yard line.  #11 Alfred Baratti caught the pass for the touchdown from Stover.  The PAT failed and the score was 14-0. 

The Panthers again kicked off short and there was a mad scramble for the football.  Klein recovered at their 30-yard line.  Aided by a suspect pass interference call, Klein moved the ball to the KO 3-yard line as the 1^st quarter ended.  They scored on the 2^nd play of the 2^nd quarter making the score 14-7 after the PAT.

Abron returned the Klein kickoff to the 33.  The Panthers gained some yardage but had to punt on 4^th down.  After a good punt, Klein started at their 20yard line.  On 2^nd down and inches, a gang of Panther tacklers sacked the KHS quarterback for a 10-yard loss.  On 3^rd down, under heavy pressure from #33 Chris Blaylock, the Klein QB passed to a Klein lineman.  This is not legal and the Bearkats were penalized and then had to punt on 4^th down.  The punt was real short giving the Panthers the ball at the Klein 35.  Stover passed 14 yards for a 1^st down to #14 Charles Musselwhite.  Stover threw again to Musselwhite but this one was knocked down in the end zone by a Klein defender.  The next pass went to Starr for 11-yards obtaining the 1^st down.  4 plays later on a 4^th and 10 Stover hit Starr in the right corner of the end zone for the TD.  The 2pt conv. failed making the score 20-7. 

The Panthers kicked off, #38 Tyler Jones tackled the ball carrier at the 30.  After a couple of long yardage penalties against the Panther defense, the Bearkats scored with 9 seconds left in the half.  The PAT failed and the score at halftime was KO 20 KHS 13. 

The Panthers tried an onsides kick to open the 2^nd half.  A Klein player signaled for fair catch.  A Panther player tackled him after the catch was made which caused a 15-yard penalty to be assessed.  The Bearkats then moved the ball to the KO 20.  On 4^th down #20 Edward Germany came up with a big tackle to end the threat.  The Panthers took over.  The Panthers were not able to gain a 1^st down.  They punted on 4^th down.  The Klein receiver misplayed the ball, it hit him in the facemask and bounced into the arms of #81 Tom Call.  Call raced to the end zone for an apparent TD.  The play was called back due to a holding penalty prior to the kick.  Having been pushed back 10 yards, the Panthers punted again.  The punt was fumbled and Call was again on the ball.  This time the Panthers gained possession. 

After a penalty against Klein for having to many players on the field, Stover threw to Call for 8 yards and a 1^st down.  Next, Ford took a pitch from Stover and gained 10 yards.  A pass to Musselwhite and a run by Ford gave the Panthers the ball at the 5-yard line.  Stover threw to #14 Musselwhite for the touchdown.  The 2pt conv. failed.  Score 26-13.
