Central Gwinnett would score one last time, on a 57-yard halfback pass. Tyson Browning scored his 4th touchdown of the year on a 15-yard run.

Matthews hit another field goal from 13 yards out early in the third quarter, and that was it for scoring. The second half had Oconee playing a lot of younger players. Still they didnt give up any points. It was a good opportunity to get some second teamers and JV guys some game experience.

Notables include: Sophomore Clayton Matthews, in only his second varsity start, was 7-13 for 89 yards. Willie Johnson, also starting only his second game and not even playing last year, had 3 sacks. Luke Bishop had 89 yards rushing on 10 carries. Oconee had 24 first downs on the night. Oconee averaged over a point a minute in the 1^st half.
