Stanley to Justin Powell with five minutes to go in the first half of the game. With the PAT, it was 29-0 with RTCA well out in front.

With just a few seconds to go in the first half Stanley found Jayden Toole for a 20-yard touchdown completion. Hayden Meeks added the extra point to make it 36-0 heading to halftime.

There was a running clock in the entire second half with RTCA well out in front. In the third quarter with 5:30 on the clock, Toole came up with an interception for the Crusaders. That led to a touchdown pass from Stanley to Tripp Durden with 1:30 left in the third. Meeks added the extra point to make it 43-0 with RTCA in complete control.

In the fourth quarter the Matadors finally got on the board on a pass with eight minutes left in the game. They failed on the two-point conversion, but RTCA was still in front 43-6. Neither team scored over the remainder of the game as RTCA was able to get in a lot of younger players. The Crusaders took the win 43-6 over Memorial to take the Region Title.

RTCA has a bye this week in the first round of the GIAA State A Playoffs. Next week RTCA will play the winner of the Fullington Academy and Grace Christian game. RTCA will play the winner of that game in the Final 4 of the playoffs at home at 7:30 p.m.
