McBee struck again in the third with nine minutes on the clock, scoring another defensive touchdown. The extra point gave them a 21-6 lead, and moments later, they struck again on a rushing touchdown for a 27-6 lead. Latta couldn’t build any momentum against the Panthers, and with four minutes left the in quarter, McBee found the end zone again on a rushing touchdown and rushed for a two-point conversion, putting them up 35-6 at the end of three.

With 11 minutes left in the game, McBee rushed for another touchdown, and with less than a minute on the clock, the Panthers rushed for their second touchdown of the quarter. The extra point was good for a final score of 48-6.
